Adultery/Inapropriate Marital Conduct question

Hi. I am wondering if I should counter sue my husband for adultery and inappropriate marital conduct as he has done to me. Our relationship from the start has been characterized by this kind of bad behavior...omg, you wouldn't believe it if I told you. But he has accused me of these two things in his paperwork and says he has proof that I have committed adultery, which I have not. First question is, does he have to show me what proof he has? and then the next question is if I counter sue for the same things will this be to my advantage. From the first read of the paper work he is thinking he is going to kick me to the curb with nothing and I think he is expecting me to just roll over here. However, I am not and I would like to find a bulldog here in Nashville that will fight for me and one that knows about the music industry. thanks any help is appreciated.

you sure about the no marital misconduct part on your part? You don't have someone online you talk to, a male friend at work you are close to that could be misconstrued? Texts or calls you think he has no idea about? Think long and hard here...it isn't always caught with your pants down so to speak that can get you in trouble...

sure, you can counter with your own allegations - but what is going to happen is that depending on what the two of you bring as evidence, it could become a case of mutual miscounduct which pretty much turns it into an irretreivable breakdown of the marriage and you two will be spending a whole lot of time trashing each other to wind up back at square one with a huge attorney bill and zero to show for it.

You don't necessarily have to fight fire with fire if you can prove his allegations false.

since he is suing you for this, i assume your state is a fault state and allows for this?

if so, then yes, you should too.  eventually you will see the proof he says he has...and if you didn't cheat, why worry?

you should read up on this. you can do that here.  there are thousands of articles on this topic and how to prepare and how to hire a lawyer and how to fight in court and what to ask for....etc.

plus, read other members posts...they can help with what they did, etc.
