Recently,
there was an uproar regarding a celebrity who is involved with a married man,
and many on social media were accusing her of being a homewrecker. Although the man is supposedly legally separated from
his wife, it doesn’t mean he is legally divorced.
Many
people may not be aware of this, but in some states, a spouse can sue a third
party who interferes with his or her marriage or is responsible for the failure
of that marriage. This is known as Alienation
of Affection. Usually, the individual will sue the cheating spouse’s lover but
even family members, clergy, therapists and counselors who have encouraged a divorce
have been sued.
When it
comes to which states a person can sue for Alienation of Affection, at the
present time they are Hawaii , Illinois , Mississippi , New Mexico , North Carolina , South Dakota , and Utah .
