The $750,000 “Homewrecker” Judgment and Why You Should Not Interfere with Civil Contracts.
Recently, a judge in North Carolina awarded a $750,000 judgment to a man that sued the “homewrecker” of his marriage. The case is rare, as Minnesota and most other states have no such law. But, the case highlights a broader issue: be careful not to interfere with an existing contract or business relationship. Otherwise, you could get sued for tortious interference with contract or tortious interference with prospective business advantage.
