husband being sued, my rights?

[rainbow]

My husband is being sued civily and criminally for something he did years before we met and married. We are a young couple with 2 small children. This legal matter has taken its toll on me. We are good people, both professionals, he made a mistake. His being sued could possibly affect my own money and money of our household. I have been up and down with distress....some weight loss, was on meds, our marriage is not the same.....WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS? Can I sue these people for my emotional distress for being completely innocent, but yet guilty by association?

I'm sorry to hear about your current problem. If the lawsuit is valid and there aren't actions specifically designed to inflict emotional distress upon you wrongfully then I don't know what remedy you hope to have. After all, there are tolls on everyone I am sure - perhaps his parents, siblings, etc. but unless there is some part that is malicious against you, I am not able to think of a remedy.
