Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma
E-Mails In Custody Cases
My friend is getting a divorce from her husband & he broke into her e-mail account & printed all e-mail of pictures she had exchange w/ another man. Can this legally be used in a court of law since he broke into her e-mail account?

Re: E-Mails In Custody Cases
Your friend should discuss this with her attorney so the attorney can be prepared for the evidence. As for the effect of the evidence, in Oklahoma you really don't have to show cause for divorce, so even if the evidence were allowed in, it may not have much effect on the ultimate holding of the court. It might, however, be attempted to be used in an effort to show whether the person is an unfit parent.
