Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

My son, 32, is working for a month out of the country, and he found out through a neighbor,that his stepbrother is "cozying" his wife , and staying there with her and the two children while he is absent.

Further, his wife told the neighbor that she is "throwing him out when he gets back" and won't be able to see them if she has anything to do with it.

Of course, my son is extremely mad, and said when he gets back in at end of month, he is going to throw the stepbrother out, bodily, sue him for alienation of affections, and boot out the wife for infidelity, and divorce her.

He will have the grandmother take care of the kids when he is away now and then.

What are the do's and can't do's in this situation ? Thanks

First I would recommend against violence. Second, alienation of affection is no longer actionable in Pennsylvania.

At best he can file for divorce under a fault grounds as well as the usual consent and 2 years separation. He can also file for custody.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
