Full question:
My fiance and I have lived together for 2 years. His ex-wife keeps taking him back to court for different things. She received quite a bit of settlement in their divorce, but keeps taking him back to court because she states that he hid money, but she accepted the terms of the divorce. It weighs heavy on our relationship that she can keep doing this. I want to try to stop this, even if it just to intimidate her a little bit. Is there any type of suit that I can file against her, alienation of affection?

Answer:
Alienation of affections is not recognized under Texas law and specifically pertains to the seduction of a married person. Therefore, it does not apply to unmarried couples.
Frivolous lawsuits are those filed without merit, lacking legal basis or factual support. They can waste judicial resources, and the party filing such a claim may face fines or sanctions. These lawsuits may be intended for harassment or coercion, pressuring the defendant into unfavorable agreements.
To pursue a claim for malicious prosecution, you must demonstrate that the other party acted with malice and lacked probable cause for their claims. If any reasonable attorney would have believed the claim could succeed, it constitutes probable cause and serves as a complete defense against malicious prosecution.
