Does anyone know if a wife can bring a civil suit against the woman who knowingly went into an adulterous relationship with her husband? Has it been done before that anyone knows of?

It depends on the state but it has been done before...contact an attorney.
**I think that if more men and women were held accountable for indfidelity there would be ALOT less! Not that there would be less divorce...just less cheating!

You can sue anyone you want. Just keep in mind, that doesn't mean you will win. Adultery is still a crime on the books in most states as a misdemeanor but I have never heard of any prosecutor filing such a case as adultery is so prevalent in our society today.
Talk to an attorney.

Probably, check with a lawyer. However wives who get mad at the other woman usually do so to take the blame off the lying cheat they married.
Your husband made the promise and commitment to put no others before you, not the other woman. She owes you nothing.

it sure as hell should be possible. Not only is the husband guilty, but the whore he cheated with, too, if she knew and willingly slept with him. Though in most cases men manipulate women, and woo and wine and dine them into believing they they're single. HOWEVER some times these women are the ones pursuing the married men, in that case THEY NEED TO PAY TOO.
You need to look into your state laws. They vary by state... so I cannot tell you that, but I will check into it here.

policies variety from state to state. some states (and the federal courts) enable service by using popular mail. different states require service by using qualified mail. All states enable service by using very own transport. in case you turn and run from a technique server, he will in basic terms drop the summons and criticism on the floor, and you'd be seen served. regularly the same factor applies to refusing postal transport. whilst a defendant has been ducking service, yet in any different case technique in some states is by using ebook. The plaintiff will run an advert interior the popular public notices area of the commercials of an area newspaper for a undeniable time, and you'd be seen served. faster or later, you would be served. The plaintiff could could desire to hire a commercial technique server, yet YOU get to pay for all of those costs in case you lose the case. I study a narrative some technique server who mandatory to serve a deadbeat lady who in no way left the abode and knew to no longer open her door. He walked as much as the door, banged on it yelling, "hearth! there's a hearth! The development is on hearth!" whilst she opened the door, he suggested, "right here you're, Mrs. Anderson. those are some courtroom papers for you." yet another time, a deadbeat lady in no way left her fourth tale apartment room. The server have been given get right of entry to to a fourth tale room around the alley. He folded the papers right into a block shape and used rubber bands to hold it at the same time. whilst he threw it by using her open window, it landed genuine in her blending bowl. "There you pass, Mrs. Mahony! that's an eviction word for you." reliable circumstances. reliable circumstances.

I know it is easy to blame her and if she knowingly did then yes it is her fault. However the husband is the one that made the commitment and he is also the one that broke it. take half his stuff that will be the best revenge.

contact an attorney but if she doesn't have anything your not going to get anything, just in case u win. most courts really don't care anymore, most states have the no fault divorce now. yes your hurt but the more u invest in them the longer your going to hurt over this. leave with your dignity just move on, show them who u are by how u handle this. your husband allowed it to happen he is the one who chose to do it.

You can sue her for alienation of affection.
Aside from that, just leave the guy, HE'S the one that swore to be faithful to you, not her. Direct your anger to the proper target.
