Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Virginia
Is it legal for a spouse to voice record you without consent? And what is considered consent?
I live in Virginia and just found out that my husband has been recording me. I have done nothing wrong but feel violated. Could he use the recordings in court if we were to divorce?

No, even though such so-called "one party consent" recording is permissible
in the Commonwealth, if you in fact were not aware of it nor had been advised
of it beforehand, a divorce court would very likely bar its admissibility as evidence in any proceeding before it.
