Dear November:
Greetings. Well, it sounds like you have an interesting situation, to say the least. First, alienation of affection is proved by showing that a third party continuously contacting your spouse and broke up your marriage through their actions. You would need telephone records, e-mails, letters, witnesses to prove the contact continued.
Second, before you can initiate litigation against the third party in North Carolina who does not live here, you must prove that North Carolina has jurisdiction over that person. We look to see if the person has “minimum contacts” with North Carolina to see if we can initiate the litigation against them. My advice is to speak with an attorney about the jurisdictional issues and to assist you with the litigation. Best of luck and let us know here how it turns out!
