Adultery

[cribbsdl]

My husband is pushing for a divorce and I think hired and attorney. He recently told me he has been lying to me all the time when I found hidden letters, dated June 1, 2000, to an attorney for a divorce. He last week informed me that his attorney told him he can date and become sexually involved with another woman and that is not a problem in Pennsylvania where we live. I have not received any papers yet and he plans on staying in the house with me for the 2 yr period. Is the issue of adultery okay in Pennsylvania?

My response:

You're being taken for a ride.

If, in fact, your husband has an attorney (which I doubt), he's either received poor advice, or he's misunderstanding the law.

In PA, in order to be able to obtain a divorce, you need to be living SEPARATELY AND APART for two years. He can't just "decide" to live in the house with you for two years - - if he does, you'll never get divorced.

Adultery is grounds for divorce in PA. I would suggest that you "preempt" your husband by getting to your own attorney, FAST, and find a way to get him out of the house.

You don't need to have his trysts flaunted in front of you, nor do you need to be living with someone who cares so little about your emotions.

I agree, so do whatever is needed to kick his butt out as soon as you can.
