Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Can a person be accused of adultery by telling another person through email that they love them and would like to be with them, and can the object of the email be charged even if they did respond in the same way?

Adultery doesn't have much relevance in divorce cases, even in cases with children, and prosecutors haven't charged anyone in Florida with criminal adultery since the 60s or 70s. Anyone can be accused of adultery, but adultery doesn't make much difference in court anymore. I don't know what you mean by changing the object of an email.
Adultery for the most part is meaningless in family law unless it affects children in a custody fight. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659.
there are no grounds in Florida for divorce based on Adultery. What you are describing does not sound like adultery anyway. The only use, if adultery, is proven or admitted, is how much of the marital assets were used to further the affair. The spouse could get those funds back.
Just depends on the balance of the case. If I can be of assistance, please contact my office for an appointment 904-997-1031
