Affairs And Divorce: Protecting Your Rights
North Carolina is one of the few states in the union that allows a person to file lawsuits for Alienation of Affection and Criminal Conversation. This means a lawsuit may be filed against the boyfriend or girlfriend for essentially destroying the marriage.
In some situations, these lawsuits are valid claims of emotional damage. However, in many others, they are used as leverage to gain advantage in a divorce.
At the Knox Law Center, our family law attorneys have a thorough understanding of Alienation of Affection laws and can explain the role they may have in your divorce proceeding. Contact us to schedule a consultation with one of our lawyers to discuss the potential liability.
Difference Between Alienation of Affection and Criminal Conversation
Someone may file a lawsuit for Alienation of Affection against his or her spouse’s boyfriend/girlfriend for destroying the marriage. The scorned spouse must prove that a loving marital relationship existed and that it was destroyed by the boyfriend/girlfriend’s actions.
To file a successful Criminal Conversation lawsuit, the spouse filing the claim must prove that there was a sexual relationship during the couple’s marriage.

Testimonials
Attorney Frances Knox helped my family in providing much needed legal documents. She was very prompt, knowledgeable and went well out of her way to help us. She provided excellent legal services and was very congenial and easy to work with throughout the process. I highly recommend her as an attorney.
I first met Allen after he was recommended to me by a friend, and I couldn't be happier with the service that he provided. He demonstrated a unique attention to detail in my case, as well as expressed a genuine interest in me as a person. Through a great deal of hard work, Allen was able to appeal my case and get all of my charges dismissed. I couldn't be more grateful for him and his assistant, Sherry, for their legal and personal support during such a difficult time. Hiring Allen was the greatest decision I've ever made, and I would recommend Allen to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation.
Allen is the best lawyer I've ever met! His character is genuine, and there is a warmth about him that makes you feel so comfortable. If you ever get into a situation with DWI, and feel truly remorseful for what happened, HIRE him for the BEST chance possible. I previously spent 6000$ on an attorney who just didn't feel like they really gave me the personal care that I needed. They were only in it for the money. After hearing raving reviews about Allen, I fired my lawyer and took a leap of faith with Allen. Even though I had to pay two separate times and could not get a refund for the previous lawyer, IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!! He won my case with dignity, respect, and care and I am forever thankful to him for this.
You can get know better than this firm. No doubt about them being at the top lawyers nation wide. If you are in the Charlotte area you cannot get better. After being turned down by other firms Ms. Knox took the case and came back as a winner. Those guys who have their adds on the trains and bus here could not even stand in the same room with these attorneys. They make sure you are comfortable mentally and physically. Just let them do their job and they will get the job done. The best yes they are and that is a fact. Thank you Ms. Knox for being the person you are. Even when i lost faith in the case you held fast. Thank you over and over. Happy client.
