What is the name of your state? NC
My wife met an old friend numerous times last spring on a home visit. He then strongly encouraged her to have an affair with him. They traded emails that expressed their love for each other. In the fall, she went to a city to meet him, lying to me about the reason for the trip. I have the emails, phone logs, pictures of gifts, etc. I have PI photos of them entering the hotel together. According to my lawyer, I can prove "intent" and "opportunity" for adultery.
We attempted reconciliation until she broke it off recently. She plans on moving out. We have been married for 18 years and have 3 preteen kids. She is a stay-at-home Mom.
Last fall, after the tryst was discovered, I called her paramour and recorded the conversation. From what I know, that is legal in NC. Over the next 20 minutes, he said things like: "It is totally my fault," "I pursued her", "I'm really good at this (seducing women)", "She wouldn't sleep with me (in the hotel room) though I really tried," etc.
I would like to know if I have a case for alienation of affection. If so, what are typical awards or settlements? I estimate that her paramour is worth around $2 million net.
Is there any public information? My current lawyer does not have experience in these types of cases.
