Complaints against lawyers to the disciplinary committee are privileged and cannot be the basis of a lawsuit against the person making the complaint. That said, you should not pull the trigger on this without legal advice, since it may make complicate an already bad situation. You are understandably too upset about this to really think out all the potential consequences. If you are represented by a lawyer in your matrimonial case, you should take this question up with your own lawyer. If you don't have a lawyer in this nasty matrimonial, you certainly need one.
The technical answer to your question is generally no, an attorney cannot successfully sue you for filing a bar complaint. Most of the times the attempted lawsuit is for defamation/slander and the defense, that is usually successful, is qualified privilege. The bigger issue is, assuming her attorney is in fact having this kind of relationship, then there is an argument to be made for a conflict of interest among others.
Speak to your attorney about this. Or an attorney near Fredericksburg. For the love of all that is holy, do not name the attorney on this or any other website!

I suppose he could try to sue, but that is very unlikely. Such a suit would almost certainly not be sucessful.
