GREENVILLE, NC (WITN) - A Pitt County man won a $750,000 judgment against another man for alienation of affection, stealing his wife away.

 

"She had originally told me that she wanted a divorce because I work too much, wasn't around to be there and I worked too much. I talked about that as part of my mistake in the situation, but it was like a punch in the gut because I thought I had this trust for 12 years and love," said Kevin Howard.

 

Although adultery is sometimes romanticized in movies or popular in reality TV, in real life cheating with someone married and causing their divorce is illegal in North Carolina and 6 other United States Jurisdictions.

 

The law should be universal.  (and work both ways of course).
