There are two potential claims you could make under North Carolina Law, depending upon the facts. First, Alienation of Affection, which would require you to establish:
1. A marriage which entailed love between the spouses in some degree;
2. That the spousal love was alienated and destroyed; and
3. That the defendant’s malicious conduct contributed to or caused the loss of affection.
Another possibilty is "criminal conversation" which requires that you establish:
1. An act of intercourse between your spouse and the other person;
2. The existence of a valid marriage between the you and your adulterous spouse; and
3. Satisfaction of the three year statute of limitations governing this type of action.
