Dear Sirs,
my wife & I are not yet separated, mainly due to the fact that we have a house to sell & neither one f us is comfortable moving out.
I became aware of an affir being conducted by my wife, I am in possession of stacks of circumstantial evidence, hotel stay, texts, calls etc.
I also have verified forensic evidence together with DNA testing results dating to Nov 17th 2016.
I seem to remember reading that I need to act within 6 months of that date to avoid the affair being declared “condoned” by me ( which it certainly wasn’t).
is this timeline correct?, how do I proceed when my wife & I are not yet even separated?
thank you
There is no timeline or deadline for condoning a spouse’s marital misconduct. Condonation is very fact-specific and varies from case to case.
You can initiate the negotiations of all marital issues by presenting your wife with a proposed separation agreement. This would show that you are not accepting of the affair and would show action versus inaction.
