I have been separated from my husband since 11/2001, and I am in the process of filing a divorce representing myself, and I wanted to know whether it is legal to file for a divorce without a legal separation. I would appreciate if you can help me in any way. Thank you for your time.

My sister’s husband left her for another woman whom he said (thought) was pregnant with his child. After realizing that the child was not his, he has been trying to reconcile with my sister, who is adamant about remaining separated. They have been separated for almost two years now, and in my attempt to help her, I want to know what the case for divorce looks like, just taking into consideration the information provided thus far. (Married in NYC- both residing separately in NYC.)

My wife and I were married about two years ago. Shortly after the wedding, I discovered that she had been having an affair with a man. Their sexual relationship had lasted right up to the wedding. Their relationship continued after the wedding, but my wife claims not to have had intercourse with the man. We have been separated (but not legally) for six months. I have decided that I want a divorce, and she said she would agree to one. The problem is that, in New York, you need grounds for divorce, and this does not include “no-fault.” Abandonment would only be accepted if she had left over a year ago. Can I file for divorce under adultery even though it happened before the wedding? Can I file under “Emotional Abuse”? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Do I have grounds for a divorce?? Here’s my story. My wife has been out late a lot lately. I was talking to a fellow male military member. Finally, on Labor Day weekend after not going with us to camp (she had to work), she was supposed to arrive on Sunday a little after 3 pm. after numerous phone calls to her cell phone and my home, finally her mother and I packed the kids up at 10:45 pm and went home thinking the worst. When I got back, there was no car there. I immediately checked the answering machine thinking car accident – nothing. I guess I realized that she would be at this other man’s house. It was now midnight. I got to his house, and there she was. I rang the doorbell for a minute, and it took about 2 mins to the door. She was in the back of the living room in an uncomfortable computer chair with her hair messed up. I went outside with her and asked what do you want to do, stay here or come home and talk; she kept telling me I don’t know. I finally left. I stopped by the navy gate shack to file a report; at that time, I didn’t. I left for home appr. One hour later, a rep from the navy called and asked me if I wanted her to come home or go to a hotel as she was asked to leave military housing. I said I want her to come back.
When she arrived, she barely said a word. After trying to talk, I gave up and tried to sleep. I got up and went to the bathroom when I was in the bathroom I saw on the floor a bag with night clothes that she wears, toiletries and condoms. (I had a vasectomy in 2001. these condoms were from my drawer and forgotten until now.) I went downstairs and asked her what these were were she said “whatever.” I tried then again to sleep. I found I couldn’t. She had all the money, and I needed cigs bad by now. So I went into her purse and found condoms again. I yelled, grabbed the money, took both bags of condoms and went down to the navy base, and filed a nine-page report telling about that night, and numerous times she’s been late when talking to him. Then I went home. By this time, my mother spoke to her, and she said she would tell him she would not speak to him anymore. Then I said if she did that, I would get the report back.
I did, and she did. I now find through phone records that she called him the same day when I was sleeping and has continued to do so. He now says I am following him and has pictures of this. I am not. She does not want to be married, is continually verbally abusive to me, and we still live in the same house. I gave her the bags of condoms, trying to make her see that I just want to be together. So now no report, no evidence, no nothing. Last week I found a card addressed to him saying she couldn’t wait to be in his arms again. Do I have grounds for a divorce??? I can’t let her continue to try and argue with me in front of the kids. I want physical custody, and she’s been staying out late still. I keep a journal of it. So I am asking you: do I have grounds for a divorce, and what if any are my chances??

My husband and I have been together for nine years and got married this past February 03. In April, he had an affair that lasted till Sept. I caught him by getting a copy of cell phone bills since Jan before we married. If I was to file for divorce, can these copies of the bills hold up in court? Is adultery illegal in NYC?

My brother’s wife left him last year and got her own apartment, repeatedly stating she didn’t want to be married to him anymore. He has, on numerous occasions, asked her to come back home, and she continues to state that she no longer wants to be married. He has decided to pursue getting a divorce based on abandonment; however, when he told her of his intentions, she said she wouldn’t pay for anything, nor would she sign anything? So does this mean he’s stuck just being married to someone who has not only left him but refuses to set him free as well? They both live in New York State. Thank you for your attention.

He doesn’t know that I know about it. I’ve already taken steps to divorce him. I want to know what evidence or proof do I need to file for divorce on the grounds of adultery?
