Q: Should I let my ex know that I know about her adultery before we go to divorce court, or let it be a surprise?
im going through divorce. we havent gone to court yet. my daughters, 14 and 15, have chosen to live with me, not her. Mothers day weekend, was her first weekend to have them since she moved out a month ago. the very first night she took them to a biker party at her new boyfriends house, got plastered drunk, and forced them to stay at her boyfriends house, while she and him slept together in next room. my daughters are furious with this!!
A:
I would suggest that you reach out to a local family law attorney in your area (Irving) so the attorney can sit down with you, learn what's been filed so far in the matter and better understand the facts surrounding your situation.
Adultery is not illegal in Texas. However, it may affect how the property is divided. The attorney will help you to add/amend your pleadings to incorporate this fact if this is relevant and applicable.
