Question

My wife cheated on me and I suffered a documented trauma that landed me in a hospital for over a week. I had to get STD tests too. Can I sue my wife's lover, her boss, for actual documented psychological damages?

Answer

The old common law tort of 'alienation of affection' has been abolished in New York.
