What Are Marital Torts And How Can They Affect Your Divorce?
A tort is a wrong, other than a contractual wrong, for which the law provides a remedy. A marital tort is a tort between spouses, whether prior to or following a divorce. Because an injustice is no less intolerable for occurring between spouses, the law provides a remedy for such wrongs. Examples of marital torts include:
- Defamation
- Economic duress
- Forgery
- Fraudulent conveyance
- Fraudulent use or possession of identifying information
- Intentional infliction of emotional distress
- Interception of communications
- Interference with child custody
- Interference with existing or prospective contracts
- Intrusion on seclusion
- Invasion of privacy
- Malicious prosecution
- Public disclosure of private facts
- Usurpation of community opportunity
