Alienation of affection I think is a terrible way to handle infidelity legally.. the third parties are the level headed ones... MOST people go into long term emotional affairs when their marriages are having problems... They're vulnerable
The idea that you ignore what the outside interloping party is doing and just attack the WS is ridiculous...
if someone enters my home and steals my property easily because my wife was emotionally distraught and forgot to lock the door does that make my wife liabel or should the burglar be the one brought up on charges?
I think the main problem why we can't have a law against violating marriages is because one of the spouses consents (akin to signing a contract while drunk in my opinion which is also void), but that's an oversimplification...
This is about protecting households and families... I am shocked there isn't an enterprising politician that's all over this.. the only reason why it isn't pushed from what I can tell is that those same politicians are likley cheating. lol
