I am petitioning to enforce  the “Alienation of Affection” law in the state of Ohio. In fact, only a few states in the United States still allow alienation of affection lawsuits. These states include Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Utah. An alienation of affection, or spousal alienation lawsuit is one that is brought against a third party, a person who is outside of a marriage. Also known as the “heart balm” or “homewrecker” tort, spousal alienation usually involves a cheating spouse and their non-marital partner, a third party. By signing this petition, you are taking the first step to change the alarming rate of divorce, enforcing accountability and holding marriage to a standard.
