Suing man over affair with wife - anguish

What is the name of your state? Alabama

I recently found out about an affair by my wife and her "friend". We are trying to work things out; however, i think he used her, played on her emotions, severely damaged our 12 year relationship, and caused me personal health problems. I want to sue this person for punitive damages. I want to know if this is possible and if it is feasible and what I can expect from such a lawsuit. Any legal advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

There was a case similar to this in I think NC - I remember seeing it on one dateline or a show like it.

Try searching the "blue laws" for this type of case.

Good Luck.

p.s. a blue law in Michigan is you can not eat ice cream on Sunday with a fork. The law is old not enforced but still exists.

There are only a handful of states where alienation of affection and/or criminal coversation is still on the books, NC, Alaska, Hawaii, Illinois and New Mexico.

You can choose to sue whoever, for just about anything these days, but frankly, If you and your wife are trying to move on, and get past this, then why, other than for monetary greed, are you wasting your precious time, and money, to attempt to somehow get even with this person? Keep in mind, it takes 2 to tango. I find it hard to believe that your wife was not half responsible. Like I said, Life is too precious, and short, to waste it over trying to get even with a person who is of no significance to you or in you & your wife's future together. Use the money you would spend to file court actions on something nice for you and your wife.
