I have been told that anyone interfering in another persons marriage could be considered for an Alienation of affection suit…
So if a mother in law, co-worker or person that a spouse is having an “emotional affair” with, can you sue this person?

You do not have to prove sexual relations for an alienation of affection claim.
To understand more about the claim, you can refer to the following article:
