I have heard that in the State of Tennessee you can sue another person for intentionally causing your marriage to fail and ending in divorce as a result. Is this true?

Your answer was a simple "No". Do you have any other information or is there somewhere I can read the laws and rules for the State of TN on this matter? There was a special on 60 minutes about 3 months ago where a woman sued another woman for this exact matter and 60 minutes listed the States that this was a law in and Tennessee was one of the States listed?

Tennessee is one of the many states that has abolished what you are referring to....Alienation of Affection.

So in other words, it no longer exists in TN. LegalBeagle was correct.

You asked a simple question. 'Is this true?' So, simple answer 'No'

Regardless of the states that have the law, outside of NC, it is very difficult case to win.
