Q: Can I put cameras inside my house covering the dining room and living room after my wife has asked for a divorce?
We are both on the lease, she has told me she wants me to move out within 60 days. I know she is seeing a coworker but don't have photo/video evidence. I understand bedrooms and bathrooms are off limits. Are common areas open for surveillance without the other family members being aware?
A: If there is no present divorce action filed, there is nothing prohibiting you from putting cameras in the home that you also reside in.

A:
This is a very gray area. You cannot invade her privacy, even in your own home. You need to consult with an attorney before doing anything.
