Legal Question in Personal Injury in Minnesota

Fraud,slander,intentional/negligent emotional distress?

Coworker gets in car accident ends up in hospital, nursing home for several months. I try to help him out visiting him, giving him gifts sometimes bringing my wife along. I had been having health problems of my own prior to this but helped him out anyway. Together with wife of 30 years I owned super-insulated lake home (free and clear),was working on my own patent application,had some inheritance from my parents,and was within 2 years of retiring. When this guy recuperated he ''befriended'' wife behind my back I believe to steal her and my assets. I tried to help him out and he stabs me in the back by talking her into divorcing me and falsely claiming I sexually abused her and was a narcissist. I took a test with psychologist which came out normal to prove otherwise and have talked to several counselors who don't believe I abused her (she had voluntary relations with me several times before she left). He previously lied to 2 other women where I work that had just previously broken up with him. He had bragged to me previously about one woman calling him the King of BS, I have since found out he went out drinking after the 2nd woman left him for lieing getting in an accident (3rd DWI). I lost wife,house. 20+ mos. in counseling.

Re: Fraud,slander,intentional/negligent emotional distress?

I am afraid that there is no cause of action in the facts that you relate that is recognized under Minnesota law. Minensota has specifically remove "alienation of Affection: as a cause of action which is the basis of your claim.

I am sorry for your troubles.
