No, at least not successfully. The type of claim you have in mind is called "alienation of affection." It used to be available in most states, but very few recognize it now. California is not among them.

I'm sorry you've been through such an ordeal, but the law offers you no remedy.

No, you can't. As Mr. Hoffman points out, California no longer recognizes lawsuits for "alienation of affection."
