Husband tells that to prove adultry it must show the actual act of sex. . .is that so?

You will need to prove that the person had the inclination and opportunity. You do not need pictures of a person caught in the actual act, pictures of them entering the house in the evening and leaving the next morning can be evidence of adultery.

We have a friend whose wife has asked him to leave. They have three children and she does not currently work. She has plans to return to work next year when the youngest goes to school and return to school to finish her degree. They have been married around 15 years. And he owns his own business. My husband and I both suspect that she has been unfaithful to him and have encouraged him to search for proof to avoid this being so finacially devistating for him. We feel this is one of the reasons that she wants the separation.
How can he avoid alimony if he finds no proof prior to moving out? I know that it’s legal to date once you are separated but if she already has a relationship, and starts dating someone within days of separation, would that be enough to cast doubt and put fault on her?

If someone got involved in a relationship very soon after the separation that would be suspicious to the court. However, unless you could find proof of any relationship between them before the separation, they may not determine that adultery was committed. It does not matter when he finds the evidence that she was involved in a relationship. The important part is that the evidence exists at all.
