Nothing is more devastating-heart-breaking or humiliating-to a woman than suspicions, or confirmation, that her husband is cheating. The breaking of marital vows can leave you feeling defeated, lonely and confused. You may be wondering what the Virginia divorce laws are concerning marital infidelity. How can you prove adultery in Virginia? Should you hire a Virginia divorce lawyer?
Adultery in Virginia
Adultery is defined as a spouse that willingly participates in sexual intercourse with another person that is not their spouse. Virginia divorce laws require proof that adultery has been committed in order to file for an at-fault divorce. The evidence of infidelity must be "clear and convincing."
Evidence Needed to Prove Marital Infidelity
Adultery in Virginia is grounds for a divorce. However, without concrete evidence, proving infidelity can be difficult. If you can get your hands on any concrete pieces of evidence, save it, as it may be helpful to prove you have a cheating husband.
Some types of evidence that can be used to prove your husband is cheating include:
Any or all of this evidence can be used by you and your Virginia divorce attorney to help prove infidelity. Keep in mind that judges will not abide by your suspicions alone. They are only interested in facts and the presentation of evidence that supports your claims of infidelity.
If you are having trouble obtaining records, then you may wish to contact a women's divorce lawyer for help. If you plan to file quickly for divorce, any important records you may need can be subpoenaed. A Virginia divorce attorney can help you with the process of gathering evidence and filing for a Virginia divorce.
Virginia divorce laws require that any accusation of adultery is corroborated by another person's testimony or evidence. However, this does not necessarily mean that there has to be eyewitness accounts of adultery taking place. Other types of evidence can be used to prove your husband cheated.
At this point, it would be in your best interest to consult with an experienced Virginia divorce attorney who understands women's issues in Virginia. It is important that the Virginia divorce lawyer you choose has handled cases similar to yours and that they understand how Virginia divorce laws regard adultery.
