Can I Be Charged For Adultery After My Husband Left Our House?

Asked by admin on November 28th, 2009 Listed in: Husband Left

We still married (papers) but we agreed him to leave our house because we’re separated under the same roof by 6 months and for me there’s no chance for reconciliation.

  1. If he is gone, all is has to do is prove adultery and he will be granted the divorce. It depends on what state you are in. It’s best to lie low until the divorce is final. You don’t want to make things worse for yourself and your children. Call an attorney and get a free consultation on the phone first.

  2. Charged ? Accused of Adultery yes, and you need to be careful about this because in some states like Mississippi, it is against the law to co-habitate, I almost lost my children because my x found out after we separated that my boyfriend was staying over some weekends and its still against the law to co-habitate in Mississippi once divorced and he would have the same right to gain custody, check the law out in your state. Thats what forced my getting married again because of this law, and now i am getting divorced again 4 years later.

  3. no. adultery is not a crime as far as I know. He’d have to prove you to be an unfit mother for you to lose custody, and that’s very hard to do. LOL at the girl above me. OMG you had sex and you were married to someone else! Honey this happens ALL the time. Is it right? No. But people have affairs ALL the time. The court does not want to waste its time on something like this. It won’t cause her to lose her kids.

  4. Yes, my sister did and it did not even matter that he had been emotionally abusive.
    She was separated more than two years, he would not sign papers for a divorce. The person with whom she committed the act was a man that was not even in the country until the act happen and they had planned to get married if she could ever get him to sign.

  5. They don’t even use the word Adultery any more. ( maybe in some churches, but not COURT). It’s almost a given any more that one strays.
    I can’t see losing your kids happening. He’d have to fight a big fight or have OTHER more serious things against you to get the kids. IF he gets the kids, it will only be because you have more secrets under your rocks that what your saying here.

  6. I believe that if you are still married, weather you are living together or not, if you are still married, and you have relations with someone else while still married, that is considered adultery. As far as losing your kids because of it, I am not sure of that.

  7. I don’t think they charge people with adultery anymore.
    You may be at risk of losing your kids if you bring home a different man every night and expose the kids to that.
    You are allowed to date and have a life. No, your kids will not be take away.

  8. yes:: even after he moved out he had one-year from that date of new address for either party to file for divorce. so in other words you comitted adultery.and it depends on the state you live in for custody rights.

  9. Sweetie the courts do NOT care about adultery as a decision point for custody. The courts would be swamped 24/7 of they debated things like that.
    You’re cool. Just enjoy the old in-out in-out and have some fun.

  10. Yes you can. You had sex with someone else and you were still married. Now if you had filed separation papers through the court, then that makes it different. Talk to your lawyer.

  11. Adultery is only: now get this ONLY punishable my God not man, take a look in your bible look it up, about the kid situation, it’s a tossup, ask your lawyer

  12. That would be a “BIG” YES! You are still legally married. He may have left the house, But he left it still legally married.

  13. it depends if he can prove it . if he can then yes you can be charged

  14. Yes, because in the eyes of the law you are still married.

  15. Yes because in the eyes of the law you are still married

  16. don’t think one has to do with the other , but you really should have waited , especially if he had been faithful
