Alienation of affection is a suit against your spouse's lover saying that this person broke up your marriage by attracting your spouse away from it.
Most states have abolished this claim completely, and in those where it is still valid, it is very difficult to win.

What is a certified class action suit?
A certified class action suit is one brought on behalf of a large group of people as plaintiffs who have suffered some similar harm from the same actions of the defendant or defendants. (Like if a company charged illegal fees to many people over a period of time so that the only issue to resolve is how much should be refunded.) The attorney representing the main plaintiff has no right to sue on behalf of someone who has not retained her unless the lawsuit claims to be a legitimate class action suit. It will not be treated as a class action suit until the plaintiff proves it should be handled as one. If that is proved, the court certifies the lawsuit as a class action.
What is non-recourse lending?
Non-recourse lending is made available as a loan in which the borrower is not personally liable. For instance, in the pre settlement funding realm, a plaintiff involved in a lawsuit can get a non-recourse based cash advance for their lawsuit. In this scenerio, the plaintiff or applicant for the non-recourse advance is only contigent to repay that advance back once the case is settled or won. In the event the case is lost, there is no need to repay that advance as that is the risk taken from the firm handling the advance. These are typically lent when there is high capital expenditures, long loan periods, and uncertain revenue streams from the loan itself. The rates can be much higher due to the risk involved for the lender, obviously.
