Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut
Adultery
My husband has been having an affair for over a year now, after many attempts at reconcilement it is decided that divorce is the answer. However, is girlfriend continually calls our home or shows up at our house to see if he is here. He spends much time here because of the children, who are unaware of the entire situation. I choose not to let them see that their father is a cheat however the girlfriend is constantly harrassing, can I file a restraining order against her ?

Re: Adultery
The problem is that he can allow her to call - it's his house, too (for the moment). You'll probably have to start the divorce before you can stop the calls.
Re: Adultery
There are certain requirements for a restraining order. If your husband has legal right to stay at the house, he is entitled to have people over. However, I don't think ownership in the house would interfere with your right to protection if things are getting out of hand. If you need help, you certainly have the right to contact your local law enforcement agency for advice. They may have some useful suggestions. In the meantime, you should probably consult with an attorney on the divorce issues.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance to you and your loved ones.
