There are some Southern states that have Alienation of Affection laws that allow the current spouse to sue the other woman (or man, I think) for becoming involved with their spouse, thereby, alienating their affection. I dont know which ones and what the conditions are for such an action.
The old fashioned hunt her down and kick the tar out of her will only land you in trouble.
The best thing to do is to contact an attorney and follow his advice.

Wow. 5 months? Either he didn't really know what he was doing, been drunk for at least 5 months, had the gf on the line, or........what did you do?
I feel sorry for you if this came on to you unexpectedly. Did you know him a long time?
Your out of luck if your in the states or Canada. There are laws in the books but prosecutors are reluctant to charge anyone under those laws cause half of the population would end up in jail

It really depends what state your in. Some states have laws that are no fault in divorce situations. Some states have laws that you can sue for a fault in the situation leading up to the divorce but I'm not sure which states they are. If I were you I would just let it go and move on. Find a better man than him. He obviously was a loser. Good Luck in the future.

In the state of TX adultery is not illegal, and TX does not allow a person to sue their spouse’s lover for alienation of affection (only a handful of states do allow it). You can file for divorce on the grounds of adultery (you have to provide proof to the court), but you won’t gain anything from it. With a **5 month marriage**, any martial assets that you've acquired (and you may not have acquired any at all) will be split 50/50 regardless of martial misconduct. You can talk to a local attorney to verify that.

No, there is no law against it. I want to encourage you to NOT hire a lawyer just yet. There are different laws for different states. You may want to see a family law facilitator. Now that the trust is broken, I would seriously advise you not consider going back to him.
My ex-husband begged me to not hire a lawyer. Then he turned around and hired one behind my back. I found out about it a month later. I had to hire an attorney at that point and I spent over $20K and still got very little in child support. If you do hire an attorney, do NOT be nice. Hire an s.o.b. who will reward you with what you deserve! Good luck and know that there are many people behind you.

I wish there was a law against it. My ex-husband left me for another woman whom he is engaged to now and who he has my kids his too I guess calling her Mom. I don't think he moved in with her after he left at least not to my knowledge but he lied about when they got together so he probably lied about that. Anyway to you now sorry I got off track I am sure you can sue her just like a couple people already said. And I believe that since he left you to move in with her you have the upper hand. Good luck and I hope you get him for it. God knows men like that deserve nothing. Hope it works out to your satisfaction. Thank you teenie. Women like me appreciate what you said about cheaters. All the cheating men's mistresses should be locked up too. Too bad my ex-husbands g/f cant be. Shes the one who broke up my marriage. Trying of course to get over the anger still. I totally agree.

Thats sucks and he is legally still married and could end up in a world of hurt without filing for a legal seperation. That must be done in order to prevent him from further damage, where you on the other hand have the upper hand here in this case.

Texas? I don't know. However, it's called adultery and yes, it's against the law. It's prosecutable. Rarely prosecuted. If Texas is a no fault state, the judge isn't going to hear adultery. But see a lawyer; you might qualify for spousal support.

I don't think there's any law against it, unfortunately - he won't go to jail over this - but he's certainly violated his marriage oaths, and that means he's at fault in the divorce. You should be able to get a very nice settlement because of this.
I'd advise you to see a lawyer immediately.
And...I'm very sorry to hear it.
