West Warwick, RI asked in Divorce for Massachusetts

Q: Can you sue a mistress in Massachusetts? (I am currently asking for my friend who’s married to her cheating husband)

This is my friend second time being cheated on by her husband.They’ve been married for 35 years but don’t have biological kids together she have biological kids he stepped in & help raise since they were 5 & 7! Now they’re adults. She’s been a stay at home mom since forever! His first mistress he fell in love with so deep to the point he was getting ready to leave his wife. My friend begged him to stay and the step-kids begged him to stay so he did. He looks at his step kids as his kids. Years pass by another mistress he ends up liking but he ended up buying this one a condo and over 20k in money. Can she sue for that back?
