Polygraph tests are generally only used in criminal cases, and generally are not admissible in any type of court action. However, when you file your court action, you can hold a deposition, where your attorney will ask them a lot of questions (separately) about the relationship, and if you have proof they have lied in the deposition, you can use the deposition in court to prove they are not trustworthy.
Good luck,

thank you for your reply. However, I have to represent myself in court in this matter since I do not have the funds to pay an attorney. Do you have any idea what type of questions I should ask?
Like ask my husband to produce a hotel room recepit, when he was not a registered guest in a hotel and the other woman was?
Phone records? Witness out in public. My van in her garage and she would not release it to me, saying it was broken down and then he leaves a message that he is leaving her home?
His sister knowing that he was not spending the night at her house and unsure where he was? Can I question his sister too?
These two are not trustworthy, they both have lied and decieved many many people in this situation. I need to find some really good questions to ask these people…how do I prepare?
Greetings. In a deposition you can ask any question which may lead to relevant information. You can ask him to provide information which he has control over. For questions to his girlfriend or his sister, you will need to depose them separately.
Remember that his fault is only an issue that affects the amount and duration of alimony. There is much more important information which you must prove at trial, such as the facts that he is a supporting spouse and you are a dependent spouse. Best of luck.
