Q: how can I prove his debts were used on extramarital affairs
I'm about to file for divorce and I need to know how can I prove that husband's credit card debts
were spent on extra marital affairs. He can't provide proof of what he used the credit card for since
it was over a long period of time.
A:
You will be able to prove it based upon what is called "Discovery" and/or "Disclosure." Rule 49 of the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure provides that both parties must exchange a limited amount of bank and credit card attorneys.
If I was your lawyer, I would also serve your husband with what is called a "Request for Production of Documents and Things," requesting the bank and credit card statements for many years in the past.
If you need assistance, I suggest you contact an experienced attorney to assist you.
