I am in the military and was stationed in NC. My spouse had an affair during the marraige that still continues and was the primary cause of our seperation. I was reassigned and my wife did not move with me. She stayed in NC and established her residency in NC. I was later served divorce papers in another state. If I accept the divorce preceedings in another state can I still pursue alienation of affection procedures in NC? The third party is in Maryland, my wife still resides in NC.
