Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

alienation of affection

Can you please tell me if it is considered alienation of affection if your brother's third wife thinks her children and family should come first over his family and has caused the whole family to drift apart because of her behavior. IE: her name is not on the deed to brothers house but she insists she should get everything if anything should happen to him. A wife should be put above all others, no money to go to children of his if he should die, cannot help with disable parents or sister. Does alienation of affection apply to older children and family? Would appreciate any info please.

Re: alienation of affection

Alienation of affection has been abolshed approximately 15 years ago. Your case deals more with probate. A spouse can favor any child he or she desires. The only prohibition in the law is that one can not write a spouse out of a will. While you may not agree with your brother what he is doing is not illegal.
