How do I prove adultery in Louisiana

[reallyconfused]

i recently came home from work to find another man in my house with my wife and all the lights were off. i did not catch them in the act and asked my wife what was going on she said nothing, of course, but when i asked him to leave she followed him a short while later. when she came home the next day i basically asked her to make a decision and she pretty much chose him. i have paid for a motel room for her to stay in and have seen his car there everyday since this began. i have been told that to prove adultery i have to have two witnesses while they are in the act and that it cannot be family. i have also been told that all i have to have is a witness to the fact that they are in a motel together. which is true? both answers are from very reliable sources.

My response:

Why would you want to waste your time AND money to hire a Private Investigator, or to get involved in the expense of a "fault" divorce ? It's a complete waste. So what, she's getting boinked by someone else. If the marriage is in the toilet, what good is a fight going to do for you - - except to empty your pockets to fill those of an attorney ?

Make life simple for yourself. Just file for a "No-Fault" divorce on the grounds of incompatibility, and be done with it. It's cheaper, faster, and gets you to the same point - - a divorce.

i asked about a no fault divorce but since she wants alimony and is asking for things that were bought before i met her i was told that i could not file for a no fault divorce. please let me know if i have been given misleading information.

I divorced my wife for Adultery in 1985. I won custody of my son and avoided Alimony.

This statement is true: "i have also been told that all i have to have is a witness to the fact that they are in a motel together."

This statement is false: "i have been told that to prove adultery i have to have two witnesses while they are in the act and that it cannot be family."

On December 15, 1984, I discovered that my wife was having an affair. On December 18, 1984, she abandoned our residence. On December 26, 1984, I filed for divorce on the basis of abandonment and mental cruelty - I could not file for adultery because I could not meet the criteria to make that case. On June 16, 1985, I amended my divorce petition to include adultery after discovering that they were physically living together in an apartment. The East Baton Rouge Parish Family Court will recognize adultery in the following cases: if your spouse is in a motel room with a member of the opposite sex that is not a member of their family - or your spouse is residing in a house or apartment with a member of the opposite sex that is not a member of their family - and you have at least two witnesses to this event, you can establish a case for adultery. You will need to get the name of the person that has rented the room or the residence and have their name listed on your petition. I won my divorce, on the basis of adultery when I discovered that my wife was residing in an apartment with a male that was not a member of her family. I hired a private investigator, provided them the location and used their report to establish my case. I included his name on the petition and was awarded a divorce on the basis of adultery on August 5, 1985. Neither I, nor any of the investigators, caught them in the act.

And the reason you're responding to an ELEVEN YEAR OLD THREAD is...what, exactly?

Hush your muffin.

Your post is completely irrelevant.

He's still tender.

That's a whole lotta bitterness!

Especially since the events he's posting about happened almost THIRTY years ago.

Indeed! I wonder if he knows for sure that the laws in 1985 would apply here?

Good grief!
