Keeping marriages together

We know that since the beginning of time people have cheated on their partners.

We saw it with President Clinton, N.C. House Speaker Tim Moore and many others.

But should this wrongful act be accepted or can we do something about it?

Cheating on a spouse is not a mistake. It is a choice and those choices come with consequences, especially when you not only damage the couple but a family with children!   

N.C. is one of the five states in our country that wants to keep marriages together. This is why people must be separated for 1 year prior to filing for divorce, and if someone interferes with your marriage, you can bring a claim against that third party for affecting your marriage.

If more people knew the possible consequences behind affairs in N.C., they would think harder as the damages would not only be scandalous but financially hefty.

The public isn’t made aware of their rights as a North Carolinian, we keep hearing the news about grocery prices, gas, election, etc. And while all this is happening, families are still being affected by recurring cheaters!
