I would still like to know:
Does a judge or jury hear a criminal conversation case?
Is it a very expensive case to pursue?
Dear fresh start:
Greetings. The party being sued has the right to request a jury trial. Yes, the case is generally very expensive to pursue. Best of luck.

Isn’t criminal conversation actually a civil action? Is it generally more expensive to pursue that type of case compared to a divorce action? Obviously I’m concerned about having to pay for two legal proceedings at the same time. Is a criminal conversation case heard by a judge or jury or do most settle out of court? Should the criminal conversation action be brought before the divorce action? Can children be called to testify? In my case my spouse admitted that the affair started 10 years ago. Her spouse knew about it for 7 or 8 years and never told me anything because he assumed I knew and he was also tracking her with three other men. (Yes, I’ve had an AIDS test and the first one came back negative). My 12-year old daughter found out about the affair at school because it was her best friend’s mother. On that particular day the woman tried to get my daughter to leave with her and wanted 2 of my 3 children to move in with her. My oldest daughter and her best friend knew for a long time because my husband had his mistress call their cell phones when he couldn’t be reached at home. When I asked him to move out he did and he told mutual friends the next day that he was officially dating her. Funny thing is he also asked a mutual friend if he was sleeping with the woman as well! I would hate to put my children on the stand but this woman will not bow out gracefully until the divorce is final so I don’t know what other options I have other than to bring a civil action against her.
