If the person is a minor he or she would need to obtain the assistance of the state's social service agency that has jurisdiction. If the person is an adult, he or she could be evaluated by a psychologist or psychiatrist. Please be advised, that under the circumstances given, it is highly unlikely that the person would be successful in a civil suit or other legal action unless there is substantiated proof that there was deliberate intent to do harm by the parties involved.

I think the term you are looking for is "Mental Anguish and Distress". In the litigious society we live in, it is possible to sue for nearly anything. (Personal opinion: if there has truly been significant damage done to your health, mental state, or general well-being, a suit may be in order. But don't be frivolous.)

Can you sue someone for emotional distress due to them filing numerous frivolous lawsuits against you?

I suppose it is possible. Be aware that to prove your case would probably take expert testimony by doctors and psychiatrists to substantiate your claim. This is an expensive task and unless you are intend to receive a LARGE settlement, it is probably not worth the time, expense, and effort. Consult with an attorney for a realistic evaluation of success.


Can you sue the newspaper for malicious intent or emotional distress?

Yes but it is extremely difficult to prove libel because you have to prove actual malice was intended and that the newspaper knew the information was false but continued to publish it. Barely anyone wins libel cases because of the extremely high burden of proof on the plaintiff. A really interesting Supreme Court case in which many of the guidelines for libel and slander cases is New York Times v Sullivan... you may want to look it up.


How much can a person sue for if they can prove back pay breech of contract wrongful termination emotional distress mental anguish lies false statements and illegal phone recordings?

It all depends on the laws of your state. I would talk to an attorney. The question shouldn't be how much you can sue for, it should be "how much are all of these problems worth." If you just sue for millions and millions, that is called frivelous and it will likely be thrown out.


Can the person having an affair sue the wife he is having an affair with?

Well that depends on what you are suing for? If she has caused physical damages to your property or to you then yes. Emotional distress, no sorry but as far as the court is concerned you kinda walked into that one and are there for equally responsible. For publicizing the affair, not unless you had a lawyer draw up an order of silence agreement prior to the affair and they signed it. In other words if the affair were made public and that caused you distress in any case you cannot sue her for damages. Now in cases of slander where she has said things publicly (not in private trust), that are not true about you, you may have cause for suit but be aware in such cases you will have to prove monetary damages caused by such and this can be extremely difficult. The court won't allow for award because you are mad and as I said before emotional distress isn't arguable under such circumstances and if the slander was made in what was believed to be in private trust by the defendant this would not be considered true slander which must be deliberate.
