Can You Sue a Homewrecker in Texas? Divorce Law Explained

This episode of the Law Office of Bryan Fagan podcast tackles a question many people ask after discovering a spouse's affair: can you actually sue the other person involved in Texas? Attorney Bryan Fagan explains why Texas law does not recognize alienation of affection claims or criminal conversation lawsuits against a third party, even though a number of other states still allow them, and walks through how the state's no-fault divorce system treats infidelity instead of assigning legal blame to an outside party. The conversation goes beyond the simple no and digs into what actually matters when infidelity is part of a Texas divorce, including whether marital assets were spent or hidden during the affair, whether filing on fault grounds makes strategic sense, and how a spending trail during that period can be documented and used in court. Listeners walk away understanding that while they cannot sue a homewrecker directly, the financial and legal fallout of an affair can still play a meaningful role in how a divorce case is built and ultimately resolved, and why working with an experienced Texas family law attorney matters when infidelity is part of the picture.
