Question:

My wife is having an affair and I want to know if it's worth the effort to address in divorce court.

I do not have any "professional" documentation or evidence of her affair other than her admissions to me and the fact she has moved out and is believed to be living with another man.

What advantages are there in proving her infidelity and affairs in a divorce case? Is it worth pursuing?

Question:

With a few swift keystrokes, your case could go down in flames.

If you think I’m exaggerating, think about Tiger Woods, Jesse James or maybe even a friend of yours busted on Facebook with another woman, and think again. 

It’s easy in our social networking gluttony where your computer keyboard is your sounding board to rant about your case. After all, it is mostly free, you don’t have to pay your lawyer or your therapist to listen to you, your spouse or ex is not your friend or follower, and a status update or a wall post is the easiest way to tell your friends exactly how you feel.

And that’s the problem.

Question:

I'm having an affair, which is the cause of our divorce. Can my wife get the deleted text messages or pictures sent from my phone?

I know she can get the number I was texting, but can she get the actual content of what was written?
