This is interesting and humorous. Payment from a doctor to
his paramour's husband is income to the husband.

On what grounds was the husband going to sue?
Reads more like extortion to me.
How gullible could this guy be to believe a doctor didn't
have the $150,000 he was going to sue him for?

In some states I imagine you can still sue for alienation of
affection.

It could well be that, too. On the other hand the doc was
reported to the medical board in spite of the payment. So
it's unlikely there was a threat to report him unless
payment was made.

If the guy was so busy seducing his patients, maybe he
didn't have enough time to earn big bucks.
