I don't see too much of a difference between "You honor, he ruined my marriage" and "Your honor, he TRIED to ruin my marriage."...
The intent is by the third party is equal...
So if this law can be used for alienation, it could (should) also be used for attempted alienation...

It depends...if the law is one that notes "intent" over "control" then, sure. However, I think if the attempt were being made and not being successful, then your issue would be one of harassment and not attempt to alienate affections.
