In an undated information publication the following wording was found:
"Heart balm actions make for very nasty court cases, and only nine states still permit them -- Illinois, Hawaii, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota and Utah.
They are generally held to be hold-overs, remnants of an earlier time. They are a tort action (i.e.: a civil offense) based on the idea of "home wrecking," as it is nostalgically called. They require the naming of a co-respondent, who generally becomes a defendant in the divorce. And, the plaintiff spouse must prove the co-respondent's wrongful conduct; that the plaintiff spouse lost the affection of his or her spouse as a result; and that a causal connection exists between the defendant's conduct and the plaintiff's loss. This must be done to the standard of preponderance of the evidence."
From this excerpt it would appear that since Ohio is NOT one of the states named, it either never did, or does not now, have a so-called Heart Balm Law.
