[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in VA and my husband cheated on me while I was pregnant. It was an outrageous, over-the-top affair that I used to think I should have written a book about, but it all sounds too far-fetched for it to really have happened...

I had proof of everything. And, I was hurt and pissed. The divorce lawyer would not file adultery charges. It was a large firm, and they will not take contested cases. Apparently, judges don't like it and they are not willing to get on a judges bad side. I found that to be a common theme among the divorce lawyers I interviewed.[/quote]

What??? That's so unfair :( not the Op but I am falling off my chair reading this, you didn't manage to find one proper lawyer that would file the adultery charge? [/quote]

Very typical of how the legal system treats women.  We are not protected under the law, even when there are laws on the books.  We are not allowed to make choices about how we want to pursue our legal options.  We are discouraged from using the legal system on our own behalf.   The mostly male legal profession refuses to use the system on our behalf.  This extends to many other things in addition to failing to use the law on behalf of women in divorce.  Refusal to prosecute and sentence date rape appropriately.  Refusal to expend system resources on processing rape kits so crimes can be solved.  Refusal prosecute domestic violence even when clear physical evidence exists, etc.   Even today, women need to continue pressing for equal access to and treatment within the legal system.

Mostly male legal profession?  Get a female lawyer.  There are plenty of them and they are all looking for jobs, since in your world they're all probably unemployed victims by virtue of their sex.  But no, seriously, go out and DO something instead of complaining and cajoling men to treat you better.  Feminism is so often denigrated because you do nothing except complain and whine about how much others aren't doing for you.[/quote]
