Kevin Howard has won a lawsuit against his ex-wife’s lover for “chilling feelings,” a lawsuit that exists in only a few states across the country.

In accordance with the Cornell Law School's Law on Legal Information Act, laws on “cooling feelings” allow a spouse to sue another person for “deliberate interference with a marriage”. Usually the one to whom the lawsuit is brought is a person with whom one of the spouses was in a relationship without the knowledge of the other.

Howard was with his wife 12 years. When she approached him and announced that she wanted to break up, the couple began to attend marriage counseling. But something went wrong, so Howard hired a private detective who tracked down his lover.

According to court records, Howard accused the other man of alienating his wife from him. In August, a judge ruled in favor of Howard.

“He was her work colleague,” said Kevin. “He had dinner with us several times, we spent time together ... I thought it was a friend.”

According to Howard, the lawsuit is not only about money.

“I believe in the sanctity of marriage,” he said. - Other families need to understand the consequences of not only violations marriage vow, but also legal duties. ”

Cases of investigation of “cooling feelings” are very common.

Cynthia Mills, Howard's lawyer, said that he had at least 30 cases of "cooling feelings" in her 31-year career. Even now, she has five such cases.

“This is very common,” she stated.

In order to get a chance to win a lawsuit, the deceived spouse must show that the couple was happy before the lover stood between them. In other words, that a third party interfered with the relationship and led to its destruction.

Mills said the trial began with old English law when women were seen as property. Just as a man could sue a horse, he could sue his wife. Now any spouse can sue regardless of gender or partner.

In many cases, Mills was not about money.

“The idea is to keep the marriage sacred and keep the family safe,” the lawyer explained.

But people also get money by filing a lawsuit.

In 2010, one of Mills' customers claimed compensation in the amount of $ 5,9 million.

Last year, the judge ordered the man to pay $ 8,8 million to her husband, whose wife he had met for more than a year.

Many states have repealed such laws, but they still exist in Hawaii, the Mississippi, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, and North Carolina.
