How to Use the Law to Protect Your Rights When Dealing with a Mistress
Courts have supported claims for compensation for emotional distress.

In practice, the amount recoverable is equivalent to the total sum spent. However, if the mistress has borne a child, she is entitled to child support equal to 30% of the payer’s monthly income.
