Can I sue the man that my wife left me for.?

Answer 1

I don't know.I saw it on a lifetime true story before,so maybe.The women in the movie won her case.Go for it.

Answer 2

Possibly, I heard of a case where a woman did this, they called it alienation of affection, very tough to prove, very ugly and probably not worth the effort. Not to mention that every single little thing you ever did wrong will be brought up and embellished. The whole thing would probably just more frustrating than its worth. It happened, its done, it can't be changed you are far better off just moving on with your life and being grateful you didn't waste anymore of your life with her than she already stole, pursuing this will just be allowing her to take more of your life away from you. One more thing to consider, what exactly do you hope to get out of it? It can't be erased from your history so think it all the way through, you do it, you even win and what does it get you? Nothing changes anyway. Take comfort in the fact that something like 98% of the relationships that start with adultery do NOT last, plus they deserve each other, they are both liars and cheaters without much character, how long do you think it will be before she finds herself being cheated on too? Then you can have yourself a good laugh! Success is the best revenge so finding yourself a wonderful woman to replace her lying, cheating a$$ is the best thing you can do, for both of you!

Answer 3

No you can't sue him.Just move on with your life and be happy that she left when she did.Don't worry that relationship will not last long because the same why she did you she will do to him.We all reap what we sow.Let her go and do things that will make you happy

Answer 4

I agree. What's the point? But, if your state still permits some antiquated law, there are two civil actions you can pursue. The first is "alienation of affection" (which is pretty self-explanatory) and "criminal conversation" (which is having sex with another person's spouse).
Check your state law on these two issues. You may have a cause of action, but it will bring you no satisfaction.

Answer 5

If you're in America, you can always find a reason to sue.

Better for you to accept that she didn't leave YOU, she found a better match for herself. Be happy for her, and move on. Life isn't fair, and sometimes shitty things happen to good people.

Answer 6

It's called alienation of affection and there is such a thing. If you can prove it then go for it. If you have kids take them as well and guess what. She'll be paying you. Also, I think you can actually get a settlement where he could possibly be paying you for his mistake. Tread lightly and dot all your I's and cross your T's. If your state will allow that type of charge then do it.

Answer 7

not for him stealing her from you. Did he do something else or do you mean can you sue him just because your wife left you?

Answer 8

No! Wouldn't it make more sense to sue your wife? She's the one that ran out on you, not him.

Answer 9

I once asked this of my attorney, and in some states you certainly can. You'll have to consult with a lawyer to find out... and thankfully most initial consultations are free. Consider sending three letters asking your question to local attorneys. I'll bet you get a phone call or a letter from at least one of them. Good luck.

Answer 10

Don't sue him. Thank him, find yourself someone younger and better looking. That is the best revenge. No one wind in court...except the lawyers.

Answer 11

I don't believe it is illegal in any State to cheat on your spouse. It would be excellent grounds for a divorce, but I doubt you can sue for any restitution.
