A 'Hike on the Appalachian Trail' ... or a Potential Lawsuit?
What may seem at first like a walk in the mountains could turn into something more — including revelations of an extramarital relationship and a lawsuit for alienation of affections. North Carolina is one of only five states where "criminal conversations" between a married person and another party can turn into a civil lawsuit with a potential for substantial financial damages.
The Charlotte alienation of affections lawyers at Rawls, Scheer, Foster & Mingo represent clients caught up in difficult and often embarrassing circumstances. Whether we are representing the aggrieved spouse or the party being sued, our clients can rely on us for vigorous litigation and absolution discretion.
North Carolina Criminal Conversation Attorneys
When a person outside of a marriage interferes with a marital relationship, the "outsider" can face a lawsuit and damages for alienation of affections or criminal conversation. Criminal conversation refers to a sexual relationship, while alienation of affections refers to actions that caused alienation and destruction of the marriage relationship.
The person being sued for alienation of affections is not always a lover. That person could be a relative, an in-law, a business acquaintance or anyone who deliberately undermines the marriage.
