I don't know if anyone else has looked into this (I am sure you have) but I did a little research. I hope it never comes to this but just in case this is good to know.

The way I see it, in an A the BS, WS, children (if any) and families affected all suffer, especially if it ends in D. Emotionally, financially, sometimes physically. To often the OP gets off scott free able to walk away to go wreck another family. This is FYI. Luckily, I live in one of these states where one can stillsue that 3rd party for alienation of affection.


States in which alienation of affection is possibly a viable cause of action:

Hawaii
Illinois
Mississippi
Missouri (appears recently abolished)
New Hampshire
New Mexico
North Carolina
South Dakota
Utah

[To succeed on an alienation claim, the plaintiff often must show that (1) the marriage entailed love between the spouses in some degree; (2) the spousal love was alienated and destroyed; and (3) defendant’s malicious conduct contributed to or caused the loss of affection. It is often not necessary to show that the defendant set out to destroy the marital relationship, but only that he or she intentionally engaged in acts that likely would impact the marriage.]

Good Info.
