Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Florida

I would like to know what legally do I have todo to attain a court order to access past cell phone text sent and recieved messages to see if my spouse is cheating (adultry). I pay for the phone service and am the primary account holder, the phone company says i need a court order for them to legally go back and pull up what was text from my number to the other to see whats been said. I am trying to seek the truth so I can move on or see that I am wrong and contiue relations properly.
Thank you for your time and really hope there is a way for me to seek this, I havent been right since I realize it has been happening and have seen a few text with my own eyes and would like to conclude this once and for all.

To conclude this once and for all, you need a divorce lawyer. You have seen this with your "own eyes". What are you waiting for? Florida is a "no-fault" state, so you don't have to prove the other person is cheating to get a divorce. Your property will be divided "equitably" and unless you have a LOT of assets, or a pre-nuptial agreement, or some reason to prove fault, then why bother with the details? Why don't you just turn off the phone?
