I would have to know more about the "relentless pursuit" and the circumstances under which the husband gave in before telling you whether you or your spouse had a claim. Please feel free to contact me. 978.250.4255

Re: Personal Liablity for Actions

In Massachusetts, you cannot sue for "heart balm" reasons. Go to my website --www.falseallegations.com. There I have uploaded the case that explains it all.

Adultery has fallen into "desuetude." That's like Rhett Butler saying to Scarlett O'Hara, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." The problem is Everyone Is Doing It, Including the Judges.

About the only thing adultery is good for nowadays is a legal ground for divorce.

In Maine, adultery has been repealed. So has bigamy.

So if you want to sue the girlfriend, you must be clever about it . . . to think of another theory on which to sue.

From the facts you described, it sounds like the cause of action that you may have had has been eliminated in Massachusetts. Also think about this, if you can sue her, she may have a counterclaim against you.
