Taylor v. Keefe
Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors
134 Conn. 156, 56 A.2d 768 (1947)
- Written by Sarah Hoffman, JD
Facts
Taylor (plaintiff) was a minor child who lived with his mother. His parents were divorced, and custody of Taylor had been awarded to his mother. Taylor’s mother entered into a relationship with Keefe (defendant). While still a minor child, Taylor was forced to leave his home. He filed suit against Keefe for alienation of parental affection, alleging that Keefe alienated his mother’s love and affection; forced him out of their home; and denied him his mother’s social and moral support, guidance, and protection. The trial court found in favor of Keefe, and Taylor appealed.
