Dear Colleagues:

I just came across this blog which details recent litigation on on the
amatory torts in the USVI (alienation of affection and criminal
conversation with a spouse) and the rejection by USVI courts of the
Second Restatement on these issues.

See:
http://lawblog.vilaw.com/2012/05/articles/family-law/vi-supreme-court-rules-wives-are-not-property/.

Here is the decision:
