What kind of lawyer would I need to defend me in an alienation of affections suit? -

I have a friend (well ex-friend now) that is threatening to sue me for alienation of affections. She and her husband are seperating and she is trying to blame me. She hasn t filed the claim yet, but is insiting to him that she will. What kind of lawyer should I see?

I don t think you can sue for alienation of affection any more. However, don t take my word for it, see a divorce lawyer. I guess they would know more about the ins and outs of breakups than anyone else. By the way, why is she blaming you for her marriage failure? Don t you know any better than to play quot;gamesquot; with women who have hubbies at home? You should be ashamed of yourself and, also, you DID contribute to the breakup of her marriage.

You need a family lawyer.

Find the meanest S O B of an attorney in the valley. BTW, her chances of collecting are somewhere between zero and zilch in this day and age. That s true unless you are a REAL SIREN and have something nobody else has got. :)

Family law.

Sounds like she is just threatening you. But a Family or Domestic lawyer is the one to see.

Are you serious?

I didn t realize that you could sue for that. I guess any family practice lawyer would work.

Probably a family/divorce lawyer. It is very difficult to prove. If he testifies that he started the affair, not you, I think. I do know there is a statute of limitations of 2 years.
