got a question about divorce and e-mail.

[camero]

If a couple is divorcing and one spouse sends an e-mail to another person but there's been no physical contact how is that played out in the divorce and custody battles? A friend has been e-mailing someone with plans to meet after the divorce is final. So what should I tell them?

1. That totally depends on the state you're in...

In Texas, it has pretty much no bearing on anything, unless financial fraud or asset hiding is involved.

It's best to check with a board certified family law attorney in your state.

2. Thanks

No asset hiding or financial fraud. Just a pledge to meet. The friend is worried about custody.

6. It's highly likely the laws are totally different there

8. I've read some of them

There are articles for adultery defined as sexual intercourse outside of marriage and unreasonable behavior which applies to behavior that a person can't be expected to live with. Such as physical or emotional abuse.

4. How much will they give you to keep quiet?

5. keeping quiet anyway

It's just causing alot of stress and would like to calm things down.
