As Australia and New Zealand recognise defacto relationships as legal marriages, an Australian OW was able to make a claim against her ex lover to the tune of 100K AUS. As other countries embrace this new "all relationships are valid and equal" ideal, more and more people in affairs, may find themselves married but still out of pocket in 'divorce' settlements with their OP's. Newspaper article about case.

Oh, lildoggie. Don't you know the beloved OP would NEVER do such a thing? /sarcasm 
One year becomes two, two years becomes five, five becomes ten and before you know it, you've wasted your whole life on a problem you can't solve. That's one way to spend your life. -rwinger

I think its as funny as myself.
It may make some BS's think twice about recovery knowing they may lose some of their marital assets to the OP, but I actually hope that more and more waywards have to weigh this factor into their decision to cheat or not.

Frankly, I find this revolting. In the article, the wh*re is lovingly described as a wonderful person who deserves to be rewarded for her loving care of the married man she was cheating with.
So, the wh*re gets rewarded AND is very sympathetically described. Where is the BW in all this??
I don't see where this will do anything but encourage OW to take up with married men. Now there's a guaranteed pot of gold at the end of the adultery rainbow.
Yechh.
I say make the wh*re and the cheating husband pay all that money to the BW. Why on earth should the wh*re be rewarded and validated like this???
This is nothing more than legalized polygamy. Want a wife and a concubine? No problem, as long as you can afford it.
I thought those ozzies were a lot tougher than this.

My first thought was ...... well, I was speechless. The legal system is going backwards. It seems instead of protecting M's and families from adultery, they are acknowledging the infidels relationship as real as a M. Unbelievable. Oh, and the lawyer, .... foggier than Mary. It all made me (really needs bits and pieces flying out to make it more effective)

I didnt say I agreed with the portrayal of the OW, just that if knowing it may cost them plenty to go chasing other people stops a wayward, its a good thing. There are plenty of A's that are not all about 'love', just about getting some on the side.
Isnt making the 'cost' of the A one of the things we do in plan B? This time its financial as well as the loss of the family, respect etc.

This seems a punishment to the WS. Too bad it affects the wife as well...

The idea of deadly and debilitating disease does virtually nothing to stop anyone from cheating. You'd think that would do it, but it's not even close.
I still say make the married ones pay, but make them pay it all to their BS. Not one penny to some POSOP! EVER!!!
