The remedy for a successful Alienation of Affection case is a monetary award paid by the defendant to the plaintiff (person who brought the claim) but the amount of that award depends on each case. Since the defendant is the one who pays the resulting monetary award for a successful claim, it might NOT be wise to sue a third party who has little money or resources available. Successful Alienation of Affection cases can have a wide range of verdicts – starting from zero dollars to millions. In other words, you may receive a successful verdict but could still be awarded zero dollars.
