    Default Alienation of Affection Involving Two States

    If you are married and live in a state that has Alienation of Affection and Criminal Conversation laws, and there is a third party that lives in a state where those laws do not exist, and the third party never visited the state where you live, can that third party be sued in the state that the married party lives?

    Default Re: Alienation of Affection Involving Two States

    It doesnt' matter where anyone lives. It matters where the alleged violation occurred. Realistically however, those states with alienation and criminal conversion laws on the books almost never ACT on those, unless they are using them as a front end charge to tie up a defendant while the DA works on bigger cases. What EXACT states are in question?

    Default Re: Alienation of Affection Involving Two States

    I have the exact same issue as "unsure1". The married couple lives in Mississippi and the third party lives in Georgia. I have been told the the Alienation of Affection laws are "alive & well" in MS. and used frequently to win divorce cases. In this case however, the third party and the married spouse visited MS for business purposes, and have been seen in public together. The third party has been deposed to show their assets in relation to the married couples divorce, now a contested divorce based on adultery.

    My question is the same as unsre1's: can the third party be sued under this law when the third party lives in a state where there is no such law?
