Alienation of Affection

Here is a novel approach to the alienation of affection tort.

Alienation of Affection is a legal action (a tort) based on willful and malicious interference with marriage relations by a third party.

For a plaintiff spouse to recover for Alienation of Affection, the following elements are required:
the parties to the marriage were happily married and genuine love and affection existed between them;
such love and affection was alienated and destroyed; and
the wrongful and malicious acts of the defendant brought about the loss and alienation of such love and affection.

Perhaps this can include alienation of affection of a child during or post divorce.
Where the following would read:

Alienation of Affection is a legal action (a tort) based on willful and malicious interference with the child bond between a child and parent brought upon by the interference of another parent and or their family.

For a plaintiff parent to recover for Alienation of Affection, the following elements are required:
the party to the child at one time there was genuine love and affection that existed between them;
such love and affection was alienated and destroyed; and
the wrongful and malicious acts of the defendant brought about the loss and alienation of such love and affection.

Are there any attorneys that would take on such a case?

Who could do this to a child?

Who could manipulate a child's love, devotion and respect to a parent? Who could encourage a child to say hateful things against their own parent? Who could encourage a child to have hatred in their heart for a parent? One would think only a criminal or low life thug could do this. Can you imagine that a parent could do this to their own child? This is what a target parents lives when the other parent alienates the affection of a child.
When will the judges wake up and realize that this behavior exists and that these so called parents need to be punished?

Thoughts for the day

Today as I was driving home I heard a song on the radio. It was one that I have heard many times, but today it struck me differently. It was the song by Sheryl Crow "If It Makes You Happy".

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

I remember my son telling me that if I let him live with his dad, he would be happy. I don't see that he is. I do see the emptiness in his eyes that tells me he is not happy. He was supposed to be so happy, there were so many promises made to him by his father. The promises were not kept.

So son, why are you so unhappy? I miss you and will always love you unconditionally.
