California is a no fault divorce state, and as a result, infidelity is of no consequence. Recording someones conversation without their consent may be a crime.

Re: Recording phone calls
Recording a telephone conversation or any other conversation, in which a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, is a crime and there are also severe civil penalties attached to such conduct. The exceptions are when all parties are aware of the recording and agree or the recording is of the commission of a felony, such as threatening a person or blackmail.
