You cannot file an independent Alienation of Affection case. Alienation of Affection is a claim made within another case, such as Divorce, Legal Separation, or Modification of Parenting Time and Legal Decision-Making. If one parent is causing the minor child to be alienation from the other parent, you would made that allegation and offer your evidence to the Court. Typically child interviews can uncover alienation.

There is no such case as such. If a parent has alienated the affection of a child, it might be a factor in a divorce, a modification etc.

This is a Wisconsin site. The State of Wisconsin does not recognize a cause of action for alienation of affection. There might be other causes of action available to you, depending on the specific facts. Good Luck.

In California there is no such thing as an alienation of affection action. You should meet with a good family law attorney in your community to discuss your issues.

Michigan no longer recognizes a claim for Alienation of Affection. It would simply be a factor used for certain determinations made in a divorce proceeding, if such a case is filed.

New York is a no fault divorce state and you don't need specific grounds to file a divorce here.

Alienation of affection is not a recognized cause of action in Kansas. It has been abolished by statute. It is still recognized in some other states.

Alienation of affections is a common law tort, ? abolished' in many jurisdictions. Where it still exists, an action is brought by a deserted spouse against a third party alleged to be responsible for the failure of the marriage. My information is that Florida does not recognize alienation of affection as a tort cause of action. The statute can be found in title XLV of the Florida statutes at section 771.01. Perhaps you might want to consider marriage counseling or a divorce. Good luck. Read more : http://www.ehow.com/facts_6858330_alienation-affection-florida.html

No such thing in Nebraska divorce law. Divorce law only requires that one party to the marriage believes the marriage is irretrievably broken. Some states still have a tort of alienation of affection on the books, but the cause of action is against the person interfering. These cases are almost never successful and are generally a waste of time and money best spent on achieving the fairest divorce settlement possible. Best wishes!
