FAQs

To prove alienation of affection, a plaintiff typically must show that a third party intentionally interfered in their marriage, causing the loss of affection from their spouse. This often includes evidence of a romantic relationship or emotional connection between the spouse and the third party. However, in Michigan, alienation of affection claims are not recognized, making it impossible to meet these requirements in the state.
