Re: consortium

While I do not believe either cause of action can be pursued under such facts as noted, I do know that in California you can sue for loss of consortium in a civil action. Call and I will be happy to research. 800-685-6950

Reply: consortium

I can tell you with certainty that California does not recognize a cause of action based in alienation of affection. I am not certain about loss of consortium. You may want to post the same question in a civil litigation are instead of family law.

Good luck to you and your mistress!
