In some states you can sue the ex-wifes lovers for adultery or alienation of affection. In many of those same states these are also criminal offenses, though rarely prosecuted today, even if the laws are still on the books. Traditionally you were not allowed to illegitimize your children born during a marriage, no matter what proof existed that another man was the father, but today you generally can prove in court that the child is not yours, and so you should not be responsible for its support.

The laws regarding suing for adultery vary by jurisdiction. In some jurisdictions, such as some states in the United States, adultery may be a grounds for divorce but is not typically a basis for a separate lawsuit. If you believe you are not the biological father of a child and want to address parental rights or seek financial compensation, it is advisable to consult with a family law attorney in your specific jurisdiction to understand your legal options.
