Well, he was rather nice looking, so obviously wasn't his fault LOL ....she had to have him didn't she!!!!! It wasn't any of those .........might have rhymed with alimony....I know it was a ''legal'' word (that's one I have to look up in the dictionary!) Merry

In the 1940's one of my uncles had an affair with a married woman. She and her hubby divorced, my uncle being named as co-respondent. Uncle then married the lady. I know he had to pay a sum of money to the other man, basically because he ''stolen'' the other man's wife..........there is a proper name for this..........there was a law covering it which was repealed in the 1950's or 1960's ....... Aaaaggggghhhhhhhhh what's it called?? Ggggrrrrrrrrr! Can anyone tell me what I am talking about?????!!!!! Merry x
