In the US, you have to check the laws of the state the situation is in to get a definitive answer. In virtually all states, this is not grounds to sue someone for damages in the same sense you sue someone for negligence in a car accident. The other woman has no duty not to have an affair with the husband. (Some cynics might say there aren't even any damages and the wife is better off without the guy. But I wouldn't.) However, you can name her in an action to divorce the cheating scoundrel as the person he is committing adultery with. But that will not get you damages.

You need to contact an attorney to review your situation and explain your rights and options in your jurisdictions. Alienation of affection is not grounds for action in all jurisdictions. You should also consider some factors:

  • The woman owed you no duty to preserve your marriage but your husband did.
  • It takes two people to have an affair.
  • Your husband bears equal responsibility and all the details of the affair will come out in the courtroom if you sue. Her lawyer will portray your husband as the primary mover in the affair.

No. A court would not be likely to find her 100% At Fault. Your husband is the one 100% at fault for being unfaithful to you. She owes you nothing.

If it is ongoing you could consult with an attorney to determine if alienation of affection is grounds for a lawsuit in your jurisdiction.

Obviously you can, provided you have sufficient proof in hand to substantiate your claim before the Court of Law.

Is it possible to have a 3 years affair and not love that person?

Easily. ANSWER: 3 years? wow love no one will have that length of affair if the person is not in love with the other woman. If you say that your spouse ( assuming it is) had affairs with few women then I will say the love is not what he was searching for, but sex. But if this is 3 years with the same woman you are doomed. It's not just sex his having but he loves this other woman. If I were you I will let go this person because he will not stop. This is my own opinion...


Your husband of eighteen years has been having an affair for about a year the woman has said it all on tape What are your chances of getting alimony?

Alimony depends on if you were/are able to support yourself outsire of the marriage. If your husband has been the breadwinner for most of your marriage, then you may get alimony. Also, if you show that you can not support yourself because he had not allowed you to have a ful time job, then he would have to pay as well.

What do you do if your husband has had an affair for 4 years with one of your best friends and you find out that your husband is the father of a child born out of this affair?

Leave him and her behind. If they wanted to be with each other they should have come to you and told you about their affair and not keep it in the dark. Seek a lawyers advice on divorce. Your marriage to me is not salvageable because of the length of the affair and the fact that there is now a love child involved.


What's going on if your husband had an affair 2 years ago and you just found out that he has been calling another woman that had an affair on her husband but he said they are just good friends?

He could be telling the truth, but he should have learned from his mistakes the first time. It doesn't matter if this woman's husband is cheating on her or not ... she has girlfriends to talk too and doesn't need your husband! After all, he's the male and she's a female and isn't that how cheating starts, just friends. Think about it! Tell him to lose the friend! If he doesn't like it, tell him the next step you plan he won't like even more and that's leaving! Good luck Marcy
