QUESTION
Can I sue my ex-boyfriend for emotional and financial distress?
Asked on Jan 15th, 2020 on Civil Litigation - Florida
More details to this question:
My ex-boyfriend and I were together for 3 years. He was aspiring to be a police officer where we lived in PA but was continuously disqualified. I was working my dream job with amazing pay when he was finally offered a position with a police department in Florida. He told me we would get married if we moved and promised a wonderful life together. I have a young son who lives with me full time. I decided to move us to Florida with him. Throughout the moving process I suffered significant financial loss. I also took a $20k pay cut when we moved. Just 3 months after I moved down to FL with him, he was fired from his job. I picked up a second job and was forced to take out a personal loan with an extremely high APR to avoid being evicted. He didn't work for several months so all bills fell to me. I found out he was cheating throughout all of this so I moved myself and my son back to PA. I was able to go back to my old company but am making $15k less than I was before the move. Can I sue?

No. You don't get to sue people for your poor choice in men nor poor decison making in regard to living with them or relocating. Decisions have consequences. In this case - hopefully you will recover andmake better decisons going into the future.
