Q: What can be sufficient evidences for adultery fault divorce in Pennsylvania?
My spouse has never gone out over night, but one night she went out without telling me, and she didn't tell me where she's been to or what she did. The next morning, a friend of mine who is also my spouse's co-worker told me, a guy at work told him that my spouse slept over at that guy's place. After that, my spouse continued to went out late and never informed me where my spouse has been to. Can my friend act as an eyewitness at the court?
A: It depends on whether he has first hand knowledge or his statement is based on what someone else told him. If you're sure you don't want to remain married, then please talk to an experienced family law attorney in your area. Fault divorces are really quite rare these days and, once you consult with an attorney in person, you'll understand that getting a fault divorce is more expensive and really doesn't give you any leverage in the area of property distribution. If you wife files for alimony, you'll have to prove her "fault" all over again anyway so meet with an attorney, please.
