My father's girlfriend has been a constant intrusion upon my family, causing arguments. Because of her we do not speak with my father. Do I have any grounds to sue for loss of companionship, or psychological damages?

My father & his girlfriend have been a constant cloud upon my family, causing the divorce of my parents, and many arguments. Because of her we do not speak with my father. Do I have any grounds to sue them for loss of companionship, or psychological damages?

My father is and always has been a selfish person. He cheated on my mother constantly, physically and verbally abused my mother, my sister, and myself. Her intrusion upon my family has extended itself to my nephew. They are both rotten people. My sister had a hard time in the past and asked for help with her son, he agreed to help, and while getting the help she needed, he told her to sign guardianship papers so he could register my nephew for school and other things. Only they werent just any guardianship papers they were adoption papers. My sister has tried to fight it but unsuccessfully.

I just want to know if we have grounds to sue them both for loss of companionship and or psychological damages.

Decades ago there was a term "Alienation of Affection", which referred to a charge of stealing the affection of one person, form another. As in, a woman stealing the affections of a husband, from his wife. But, for several decades (since the wide spread introduction of "No Fault Divorce", and, filing for divorce under "Irreconcilable Differences", the Alienation of Affection is a lost point. Nobody needs to state a reason for seeking a divorce, so, therefore, there is no-one to point a finger of guilt to. Unlike God's law, which considers adultery to be a sin, and a punishable act. Our society doesn't concern itself with the issue of right and wrong, as well as it serves the interest of those who choose to disregard God's Law. How many attorneys do you think would be willing to take on a divorce case for a cheating husband, if adultery were still punishable by law, as it once was. But, in the final analysis, when all the participants have to stand in final judgment, the punishment will be doled out, and each will reap their just reward.

Stay strong.
Good luck and God Bless.

I'm pretty sure that you could find an attorney willing to take your case. But the fact is that you can't place the blame on your father's girlfriend. Your father is the responsible party in this matter. That woman doesn't owe your family any loyalty. Your father does. Try talking to him about the hurt that you feel because of not having access to him or try family counseling (without his girlfriend).

You could check the laws in your area, but chances are it would only drive your father further away.

Nope. Get over yourself. Show your father and his chosen partner respect and keep your mouth shut. This man raised you and you owe him.
