My H and I separated 4 months ago (19 years married and 5DC's) we live in Scotland,

Today H told me he was seeing another woman ( the one i suspected he was close to just after we split up). He says nothing happened before he moved out. If this moves on an thet have a sexual relationship (which I'm sure wont be too far away could I then cite adultery as reason for divorce?

I know we are separated but legally he is still married to me an my husband, or can adultery only be cited if it happened when you still lived together?

Thanks for yor help

Hmm Xenia - using the kids to punish the ex, maybe not such a great idea?? They won't exactly enjoy being resented or seen as a burden...

OP, not sure what you really mean about it being 'written down for all to see', especially as 'all' will mean a few solicitors and court clerks who have seen it all before and worse.

Just do whatever gets it sorted quickest and cheapest, don't rock the boat for no reason.
