Rumpca v. Brenner
Annotate this CaseKellie and Doug Rumpca married in August 1990. Around 2005, Glenn Brenner and Kellie became friends. On Labor Day weekend in 2009, Brenner and Kellie had sexual intercourse. In October 2009, Kellie commenced divorce proceedings. In April 2010, Doug brought suit against Brenner for alienation of affections, alleging that Brenner wrongfully, willfully, intentionally, and maliciously interfered with his marital relationship with Kellie, and as a result, he suffered a loss of affection and consortium from Kellie. The circuit court granted summary judgment in favor of Brenner, declaring that there were no affections to alienate. The Supreme Court reversed and remanded, holding that conflicting evidence created a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Kellie had affection for her husband that Brenner could have alienated. Remanded for trial.
