    Default Alienation Of Affection In Illinois

    I am being threatened with an Alientation of Affection case in IL, the affair has been over for many months now and the wife recently found out, she is initiating the divorce (he doesn't want one) and is now threatening to sue me.
    What kind of case could she have against me? If she has a case what would my "damages" be..or could be?
    Thanks

    The Illinois statute has some strict guidelines on what she could actually sue you for.

    Okay, I've read over the statute (thank you), I guess I am still not clear. Does the fact that SHE is divorcing HIM help me at all and that the "affair" ended over 6 months ago and everything was fine with their marriage until she found out.
    HeLP!?

    Maybe... her filing for divorce though, doesn't mean that his affection did not become estranged due to something that you did.

    I personally think these suits are a bit over the top. However, as the statute plainly states that what she could sue for is strictly limited.

    What would her actual damages be?

    If you know that she is definately suing you, yes, you need an attorney.

    Otherwise, she could just be all talk and no action.
