I am now out over $10,000.00 in legal fees, etc. If I sue the man she had the affair with my chances of winning are very remote since there is no alienation of affection law in my state. I could sue him for intentional infliction of emotional harm or invasion of privacy but, again, my chances of winning are remote.
However, if I don't win I want to advise him that if he doesn't reimburse me my legal fees I will mass mail a letter to his business associates, colleagues, neighbors, etc. outlining everything that happened. I understand that the "truth" is an absolute defense to libel or slander. However, my question is this: Could I be sued for extortion or blackmail? I don't want to do anything immoral or illegal. But, I should not be out the legal fees since I'm not the one who committed adultery, abandoned our home, kids, and marriage.
