Sunday

Hawaii and New Mexico

along with

North Carolina, Mississippi, South Dakota and Utah

That said, these claims occur most often in North Carolina - which is precisely why Sinema should have known better. The real pinch in that state comes when the interloping party has enough money to their name. In 2011, a woman was forced to pay another woman $30 million for breaking up her marriage. In 2018, a man was forced to pay another man $8.8 in a similar case. Homewreckers beware. You're playing with fire in North Carolina.
