Could my husband sue?

Tagged as: Breaking up, Cheating<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (6 April 2010) 7 Answers - (Newest, 7 April 2010)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've been having an affair with a man for 8 or 9 months. Last month, I became pregnant with his baby, but I recently had a miscarriage. Because of that situation, my husband found out. He knows everything at this point and has obtained all the emails and text messages associated with our affair. I'm fine with accepting my consequences and divorce. However, he wants to get his own revenge on my ex-lover. I recently found out that my ex-lover is married with children. Can he sue my ex-lover? Humiliate him? Legally, will he have to appear in the divorce hearings? My ex-lover is a very private, wealthy man of high stature. Could this ruin him? Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'm just curious on how all of this could play out. It could turn into quite a scandal...

I believe yes he can sue him. Here is a link to justify my opinion

Further more i believe if your ex lover wife finds about this, and she will defently. i think you could be sued also for ruining their marriage. For some one who has come to terms with you deserve this you dont seem to have much reget but in fact hoping you husband sues your ex lover out of revenge because he left you while you where pregnant. i could be wrong but that just seems how you come off.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

HAHA - not Tiger Woods...but definitely someone involved in the entertainment industry. I have no plans to be with him anymore. As soon as he found out I was pregnant, he dropped me entirely. I'm alone in all of this and I know I deserve it. I suppose I'm just curious on how the rest of this story will play out...

Carrot2000 agony auntOh, yeah, it's going down. Your ex may as well prepare himself to be dragged through the mud. Your husband can name him as a co-respondent in the divorce,sue him for alienation of affection, and generally cause a scandal around the whole affair (especially since you became pregnant as a result of it).

You are in the united states, you can sue anyone for anything, especially for causing this much damage (moral and psychological). Your husband can sue for any or all of the following :

- Moral and psychological damage

- Therapy and prescription drugs fees related to the problem caused by the other man

- Any lawyers fees related to anything mentionned earlier

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (6 April 2010):

It could certainly cause a massive scandal and ruin him that way. There are a few states in America that allow someone to sue the person they name as having wrecked the marriage. Not all, but some. So you may need to do a little research. I read recently that a woman had sued her ex husband's lover because she blamed her. So it's possible. Your ex lover might well have found himself in trouble.
