Re: divorce / adultry
No, it is not required that a videotape be made by a licensed private investigator. However, the tape might have some questions about its authenticity since it was made by your husband, who has a direct interest in this case. For that reason (among others), it's better to have a licensed investigator conduct surveillance.
If you have truly reconciled, then you can use the reconciliation as a defense to his divorce allegations. These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
