Q: Can my soon to be ex husband be prosecuted for having a baby by another woman?
My Husband mistress announced on Facebook and it has torn me to piece s.What can be done?
A: I believe that adultery is no longer a crime in IL. In any event, I sincerely doubt if the prosecutor in your County would bring charges. I have never seen it done. You would be wise to speak with a mental health professional to lessen the trauma you are understandably experiencing. They can minimize your anger and confusion about what to do. They say that betrayal is one of the most painful things to deal with. I wish you good fortune and every success.
