Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida
Can I sue a person in the state of Florida for Alienation of Affection? My husband had 3 affairs that covered a span of 15 years. I want compensation from the woment involved and I know that Law is not on the books in Florida. But is this something that can be pursured? I would want to pursue this even if I receive no compensation.

An attorney who pursues a legal action knowing that there is no basis in the law for the claim, risks sanctions and may be ordered to pay the expenses incurred by the other party to defend the claim. This includes Plaintiffs who represent themselves in vexatious litigation.

Florida abolished alienation of affection decades ago. You might want to seek your pound of flesh from your husband.
