Dealing with affairs in Massapequa County in New York have opened a new dimension. A couple in that county is in court, with the husband demanding back his kidney or $1.5 million dollars. The husband, Richard Batista, donated his kidney to his wife (Dawnell Batista), who he now claims had been unfaithful to him with a physical therapist. The wife’s lawyer denies the allegations of an affair and is attempting to obtain a gag order in the case, claiming that the husband’s press conference was ‘grotesque’ and harmful to their children. The lawyer claims that Dawnell had not been unfaithful to her former spouse. The husband had been denied access to each of the couples three children since their 2005 divorce.
Such cases illustrate how intense the feelings and accusations are when affairs disrupt a marriage. Although the proceedings seem strange and bizarre, the accusations are not being made by an uneducated populus. Richard Batista is a vascular surgeon on staff at a local hospital.
