My friend got all the evidence he needed by putting some of that key stroke recorder software on his PC, so he logged what she was writting in emails etc. He never told her that he had done it, but he had enough evidence.

She would need to prove adultery only insofar as to expedite the divorce petition. In order to expedite mine, I hired a PI who came up with the evidence handsomely.Originally posted by TazMaN
Would the proof give her any advantage in the eventual split-up (by which you must mean the financial proceedings)? In theory no, as the family law courts tell us that these days we have reached the promised land of no blame divorce settlements. This does become less certain where kids are involved, and/or where there is extreme unreasonable behaviour involved. However it’s all academic, because fortunately for your friend, there is still gender bias in the court system (obviously towards the female). This means among other things that whatever the hubby generated before the marriage will still count as fair game (although funnily enough not his debts). So I’ll bet you now that if your friend follows through with the divorce, she’ll get 50-60% of all joint assets."My God, it's huge!!"

Swamp is right, I worked with a guy a long time ago, he was very well off, 4 wheel, big house in Oxfordshire, his wife left him and ran away with the postman
no kidding the postman, and lived with him in a council flat (btw: I always think if a woman runs away from all the comfort in life to live such a rough life - she must've been at the end of her tethers, why else a woman who has all luxury in life and never have to left a finger runs away ) She also left him with the kid. But at the end she still got 50% of everything, it’s the law.

Yes but I guess it depends on how adept you can be at hiding your assets - which it appears your friend didn't do!Comment

You can't hide a house and a land rover... most of the money was in a joint bank account - his wife didn't give him warning that she's going to run away with the postman on such date and such time !!Comment

Or he could have tried blowing up the house, crashing the car and spending the kids’ inheritance in Las Vegas. Sure he’d have been poor, but she’d have been poor too, and at least he’d have had some fun.Originally posted by TazMaN"My God, it's huge!!"Comment

It's a sad story, I feel sorry for ur friend. I've always felt that the one who cheats should get nothing (or much less anyway), after all it's a marriage and not just a casual relationship.
No matter how bad your marriage is, you should end it before you decide to screw someone else.Comment

Maybe she loved him, maybe the sex was much better.

But at the end she still got 50% of everything, it’s the law.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I disagree, I think each case is different, I am not sure what circumstances drove her to do what she did, as I said women are normally a comfort creatures, to have to run away like this and having to leave the kids, she must've had a good motive.Comment

... such as missing an independent lifestyle and knowing that the divorce would finance it !Comment
