    Default Alienation of Affection and Criminal Conversation

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: NC: Served with AOA and CC, was deposed, attended mediation to no avail. No court date scheduled yet but will be heard in Superior Court since amount claimed is over $10k. How can I avoid a jury at the trial since the plaintiff is an emotional "drama queen" who may sway any female on a jury. She has only a few emails intercepted from her spouse's email w/o his permission and 2 personal meetings which did not involve any sex (over 70 yrs old) & emails seem to be just talk & not fulfilled. No cirminal conversation before separation with no intent to return to the marriage. Spearation occured over 1 yr ago but plaintiff has not filed to finaliize before settling the suit first. Can this be heard by judge only & can emails accessed w/o permission be entered as admissable. Please respond asap. Thank you.

    Default Re: Alienation of Affection and Criminal Conversation

    If the plaintiff requests a trial by jury in a case where the plaintiff has that right, making a timely request and paying the jury fee, the most obvious ways to avoid a trial by jury is to prevail based upon motions filed before trial, to settle the case, or to hope that the plaintiff for some reason decides to drop her lawsuit (which is... unlikely to happen).
