Dear hurtvet:

Greetings. If the man lives in NC, then yes, you can sue him here. Your wife may have a claim for sexual harassment, but that would be a question for an attorney that deals with sexual harassment, not me. Good luck.

I just found out my wife of 18 years has been having an affair with her boss, a senior partner in a law firm. He is 51, married with 3 kids. We have 2 kids. While we both work in North Carolina, we live in South Carolina. I am trying to work things out, but I fear that this lawyer has too much to lose if his wife or partners at the firm find out. My question is this; is there any way for me to file any action against this man in the state of North Carolina even though I live in South Carolina. Additionally, is there any case for a Sexual Harassment case since he is the one that holds all the power over her? If so, can I file a sexual harassment suit against him and his firm?
