A: This is certainly nothing complex - at least not the concept. This is a lawsuit where you would be suing your spouses lover and basically claiming the lover broke up your happy home and you need to be compensated. These types of law suits are often difficult to win because you have to prove your relationship with your spouse was in tip top super happy shape and the lover purposely set out to and in fact did steal your spouse and wreck your happy home. This is almost never the case. The most important aspect of this type of case is does the lover have sufficient non-exempt assets to go after? If not, there is no point in bothering to sue because even if you win, you'd have paid an attorney a crap ton of money just to end up with a judgment that has about the same worth as used toilet paper.
