If <Name Removed> had stolen my car or physically hit me - the law would protect me, n'est ce pas? Since she had a two year affair with my husband, called me maliciously to gloat and leave nasty messages - causing me great mental anguish, costly therapy, loss of income and spirit - why do I not have any legal recourse? She lied to the court when faced with a restraining order - that was the extent of her punishment. She can go ahead with her real estate career, send her son, free to go ruin another woman's life - and it's OK? Why is adultery and mean acts to hurt others mentally not a felony?
