Barry Dane Alexander v. Gordon Everett

This appeal involves a husbands efforts to extract judicial retribution from his former wifes lover. After obtaining an uncontested irreconcilable differences divorce, the husband sued his former wifes lover in the Circuit Court for Williamson County for outrageous conduct, alienation of affections, and criminal conversation. The trial court dismissed the outrageous conduct and criminal conversation claims. Both parties filed Tenn. R. App. P. 9 applications which were granted by this court. We have determined that the trial court properly dismissed the outrageous conduct and criminal conversation claims and that it should likewise dismiss the alienation of affections claim.
