Alienation of Affections Law Dictionary Legal Meaning

Alienation of Affections

Alienation of Affections is the deliberate diversion of a person's affection away from a person, usually a spouse. The spouse has a right to expect affection. In most places, this is no longer recognized as a legal claim.

Generally, a person will convince someone's wife to leave their husband for themself. The husband will lose conjugal relations. In an alienation of affection claim, a deprived husband could sue the party that convinced the wife to leave in civil court. Almost every state has abolished this right to sue.
