Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: Adultery

I have not known anyone to get arrested for adultery in Houston, Texas. I'm sure it's happended -- but the police in Houston have better things to do than go around to motels arresting people for sleeping with a non-spouse.

Adultery usually comes into play in divorces. It can be used as ground for divorce and can be used for one spouse to get a disproportionate share of the community estate. (I'm sure that I've totally confused you by now!)

You did not ask but -- I don't know of anyone that has been arrested by bigamy in Texas!

However, I do know of a woman that was arrested for statutory rape of a 15 year old boy in Texas.

As for military, the military has their own code of conduct. If you violate their rules, you will face the consequences with them.

If you have any other questions, you can give me a call at 713-847-6000. If you live in the Houston, Texas area, I can probably answer your questions.

Best of luck!
