Actually, you can sue in Hawaii, North Carolina, Utah, New Meico and South Dakota under a statute called "alienation of affection."

For those of yu not reading, I AM suing him for all that a court will give me. He is taken care of. What I want to do is have women pause before doing such things. Like suing a manufacturere of godds that it knows will cause harm. Other maufacturers will be a bit more careful in the future.

Honey you can sue anyone for almost anything, the QUESTION is what can you recieve in damages?
Did it cause you to loose your job? Drop out of school? Nessesitate counceling at some expense?
If it just made you cry, it's harder to put a monitary value on that, don't get me wrong, I empathize with you, but there is a reason states don't have alienaton of affection anymore. We would ALL have law suits pending.
Making her 'pay' is that what you really want in the end?
Good Luck

Well first, the only one that could answer this question is your attorney. If you are going to "take him to the cleaners", you are going to need one of those anyway, so go get one and while your ex is in the rinse cycle, ask about inflicting pain on his woman.
However don't forget, he didn't HAVE to do anything he didn't want to do. Women don't FORCE men to cheat with them. The men do it because they want to. Same goes the other way around. You are just pissed because she got him and you lost him. It always cracks me up when a man cheats on his wife and the wife blames the other woman. Do women really think that men are that mindless and easy to control?
Instead of spending so much time, emotions and money trying to pay her back, maybe you need to concentrate on why he was interested in her and lost interest in you to begin with. If you were doing everything right in the relationship, he wouldn't be with her right now. Go figure out where you slipped so that maybe you can keep it from happening again, if you get into another relationship.

Man, do I understand the emotions but I just don't think it will fly.
I'm afraid there isn't much you can really do, that I know if. A friend tried to file the same as you in Indianapolis IN. It went nowhere.
You may find an atty to take your case as it is civil and almost any suit can be filed if an atty can be found to take your dough but beware that winning is another story.

i think that there is nothing u can do to her, and one day she will pay for her wrongs. get what u can from the marriage, but forget the other woman, as the more u put into trying to hurt her the worse u will feel, and the longer u will feel the pain. u need to get out of this marriage as clean as u can, even though u feel this woman deserves to be sued, it is doubtful in any court that u will ever see it happen. the longer u concentrate on her, and hurting her, the longer u will hurt. getting her back is simply not worth it. never worry that she won't get what's coming to her, u may not see it, or know about it, but when a wrong is done to someone, the one who caused it certainly will suffer. u need to concentrate on getting yourself out of it, and getting yourself happy again, and if your main focus is getting even u won't even begin to heal. yes she did u a wrong, as well as your husband, but their is little u can do, even if she was the one who pursued him.

No! you can not. You maybe able to (although sounds like your state doesn't allow for it) take him for alimony.
You will not be able to get a judge to side with you that she intentionally took your husband to cause you emotional distress. Intent matters and she had no intent to harm you. Sorry

I never thought about this...I WILL be watching this because there is a nasty little tramp named Catina Gray in Pascagoula , Mississippi I would like to throw this lawsuit on!!! I would really like to beat the shiit out of her but she threatened to file charges of communicating threats when I discovered her affair with my husband when he was away working and after dealing with him, I called her and told her what I would like to do to her!! Can you believe her nerve? Good luck!
PS I agree that the husband is the one who CHEATED, but if there werent so many whores out there not giving a crap about someones marriage and sleeping with ANYONE and EVERYONE then the men would not be tempted!! This whore im talking about threw herself all over him for months while he was away from his family for 9 months after Katrina and one drunken night he gave in!! He is paying for his mistake now!! But she prolonged our agony by harrassing us and calling me and emailing me trying to make me listen to explicit detail of their sex together!! If that doesnt sound like intentional emotional distress i dont know what does. Everyone is so quick to tell you to leave your man, they do not understand the predicament until they are in it. Regardless of what has happened he is your husband and you love him. Its completely normal to want to destroy the tramp who poked her nose among other parts into your marriage. Maybe if these woman started getting what they deserve, so many of them wouldnt be so eager to seduce married men!!!

Your post wasn't very clear but it sounds like your husband cheated and you want to sue the chick he cheated with...she has no obligation or contract with you, he does (a marriage contract). I doubt you can touch her...but you can deal with him.

Give it up. You can't blame it all on her.
Take him to the cleaners and then move on with your life.
Your emotional distress is controlled by you. She can't make you feel anything unless you allow her to.
Hold your head up and make for greener pastures.
