Legal Question in Family Law in New York

emails found by using spyware

some of my personal emails have been found by my husband. he downloaded a stealth software unbeknownst to me on our computer. these emails are incriminating because I was having an affair. Can these be used against me in court, if we head for a divorce? We have a son together. he tells me he will do whatever he needs to, to make sure he gets full custody. please let me know

Re: emails found by using spyware

The emails can and will be used against you (as will your post admitting to having an affair if he discovers that too) and I suggest you get legal representation as soon as possible. If you would like a consultation to discuss these matter, you may contact me via email.

Happy New Year!

Re: emails found by using spyware

The e-mails can be used as evidence of an affair, however, merely having an affair does not make you an unfit parent, or necessarily grant your husband a substantial advantage in obtaining custody of your child.

If you would like to arrange a consultation on your situation, please feel free to contact me.
