What constitute cheating and infidelity in a marriage? And how does this impact divorce rulings?

I would like a good legal explanation on this. I have a friend that is dealing with having to file divorce. It seems that there were issues in the marriage that couldn't be resolved among husband and wife, therefore she turned to a friend for solace and advice. Her husband is accusing her of emotionally cheating and being a ';whore'; and threatening to take her for all she's worth in a divorce. If all she did was confide in a friend, is that considered cheating and ';whoring'; around? Does he have any legal grounds against her? All he has been doing lately is sending her angry and offensive emails. I would love some feedback.What constitute cheating and infidelity in a marriage? And how does this impact divorce rulings?
Unless he can prove that she was unfaithful to him, then he's just making meaningless threats. Proof will always be the determining factor and with that being said, make sure she saves all those emails, TWICE!!!What constitute cheating and infidelity in a marriage?

MY definition of cheating is anything that you wouldnt do in front of your significant other. For example Physical cheating is having sex, making out, oral, fingering or anal sex...Stuff that I highly doubt that you would want to do in front of your significant other...Emotional cheating is saying i love you, have a relationship [as in bf/gf], holding hands, anything emotional that you wouldn;t do in front of your S.O.





That's my rule of thumb.





Now, since you said that she was just asking her friend for advice, that's not cheating. NOW if every single time they argue she goes to that particular friend that constitutes as emotional cheating.





edit: i mean stuff you would do with OTHER people instead of your S.O.
She Can Save The Emails He's Sending Her. As For Proof Of Cheating, He Has None. He's Just Simply Jealous. The Courts Don't Really Worry About Why Your Getting Divorced, It's Not Like They Won't Let You %26amp; He Can't Take Her For Everything She Is Worth. She Should Be FIne.
my opinion is that he doesn't have any legal grounds against her for talking to a friend for advice. I also think that if she has to talk to a friend and not her husband then maybe they need a divorce or counseling.
Given that most states have no fault divorces, he will get no where. But the place to look is your states divorce laws, no Y!A for this.





Tell her to keep all his emails as those can be introduced into court as well.
Absolutely not. If she has not ';consumated'; this relationship with her friend, then I wouldn't consider it ';whoring'; around. She needs to block his emails, go ahead a file and document, document, document.
She did nothing and he has nothing for the judge. Either way it wouldn't impact the divorce. This day and age all you've got to do is file and you get it.
no its not cheating or commiting adultry





adultry is extermely difficult to ';prove'; in court -





he is using scare tactics - tell your friend not to worry about his rantings and just file for a divorce herself
shouldn't matter what the reason the divorce is for. what matters is state divorce law.
It depends where you live.


Here, nobody has to prove a thing, if you want a divorce, you get one.
I hope it's not fingering, cause then I'll be screwed!
