Re: alienation of affection

South Carolina did away with alienation of affection as a civil cause of action many years ago. If she were to sue you for that, you could have the case dismissed and recover attorney's fees from her under the S.C. Frivolous Civil Proceedings Act.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
