Just a question

What is the name of your state? Missouri
Just had a question. I been talking too two women, they are both going through a divorce over abussive husbands. They want to date, but I'm concerned about the adultry laws (for there sake) considering that they both have children invalved, and when I mean abuse, I'm talking about physical and emotional trama. One of them, her husband is in jail for abuseing her (shuvel to her face), in which she has exparte against him and now getting legal aid for divorce. Just wanted to know if I should just keep it friends with eather, or can I date (not sexual, just friends that go out to a movie or a resturant, maybe invalving holding hands. Situation.), with-out them getting into an illegel situation? Thanks in advance (and please excuse any spelling errors).

Adultery is a married person having sexual relations with someone they are not married to. It is proven by opportunity and inclination. Opportunity is being alone together long enough for the sex act to occur. Inclination is kissing, holding hands, or otherwise expressing romantic interest. Adultery may be proven by these two elements even if the sex act does not occur. The alleged adulterer may be called as a witness, but there must be independant corroboration.

My response:

LS, that's the law of New York. Our writer is from, and asking about, law from Missouri.

Missouri is a "pure no-fault" dissolution State. The only "ground" for dissolution in Missouri is "irretrievable breakdown" of the marriage.

So, to answer our writer's question, the State of Missouri, like California, doesn't care whether your friends have an affair during their marriages. It has no bearing whatsoever on whether a dissolution petition will or won't be granted.

Yes, I am sorry for that. That is NY law. I'm new to these boards and need to be sure I check the state.

Yippee, a Noo Yawk lawya.

Thank you, to all that have replied. I forgot to type down one other issue. They both have children, from there husbands. Would there be any ground for the husbands to have custady of the children, if I go out and date one of these women, before the divorce gets finalized. I don't believe that these two women wants to have there children taken away from them (especially considering that they both been baterd women). This is my last question....lol. Thanks again to all.

HomeGuru, that's spelled NEW Yawk!

My GAWD!!! Now we're surrounded by conservatives on both sides.

Welcome LS...between you and IAAL I'm going to have to start recruiting new 'Ex-Hippy' members

Now, to the poster:
