Whats the difference. A divorce is likely imminent regardless. The kids are going to know, and they will know the same information one way or another, except when they get older maybe and they have a couple extra bucks from the deal, im sure that will clear up any sadness. I'd rather be sad and have money than sad and have less money, or be sad at someone elses expense while they pay no consequence.
The difference between two parents involved in a bitter and public lawsuit, as opposed to two parents who divorce quickly and quietly?
You must have no experience with divorce whatsoever.
A cheating law and suing someone is different. One could sue for emotional distress or something, but making it a law to not cheat is ridiculous.
True. Suing the person with whom your spouse had an affair could be on grounds of intentional infliction of emotional distress, not because a law was broken. However, it would be extremely difficult for the plaintiff to prevail in such a lawsuit. Too many variables would make it a mighty complicated case. Unless the defendant is loaded with money, it would be pointless to sue anyway, as there would be little or nothing for the plaintiff to win. In many civil lawsuits, the defendant has some type of insurance which would pay out in the event that plaintiff prevails. But I doubt anyone has an insurance policy which covers his or her liability for infidelity!
I'm a paralegal, btw.

Interestingly, a woman in NC was about to be sued...by another woman whose husband she was sleeping with.
Said woman went "crazy." Shot the man she was sleeping with. Then killed her son, shot his girlfriend...shot her other son in the head. And someone else, can't remember all of the details.
Then she killed herself.
Such a terrible tragedy. I saw it on the "True Crime," forum here. I wonder if the fact that she was being sued by his spouse pushed her to the edge. IT IS A DUMB, DUMB, LAW....................

Read another article that said it didn't appear any action had been taken legally; even though it was mentioned in the initial reports.
The whole scenario just seems so "crazy." The "adults" well they all made their own choices. The kids? oh, my gosh.
yeah that sound a great law to apply....at least it will decrease the rate of cheating wife and husband in the country....finally they start thinking big....

The law has been around since the 1860's - doesn't seem to have curbed much cheating yet

Absolutely, NC has one of the highest divorse rates in the nation.
