Re: what is alienation of affection
Hello. You can file suit for alienation of
affection. Under Illinois law you are limited to
receiving "actual damages" if the lawsuit is suc-
cessful. In other words, you can recover for your actual losses; mental and emotion suffering,
etc. I will be happy to answer any additional questions that you may have.
