I am a former PI worked on divorce cases.
 I think you have already hired a pi, if not there are some things to consider.
First do you really WANT to know the truth, some people are emotionally not able to handle the truth.
 Using a pi may be expensive and may not, I have worked cases that the results were fast, and others took allot of time and money, it will depend on many factors.
Some PI's will be willing to reach a payment agreement.
get references on the pi, and check them out.
Infidelity does not always have any effect, check with any lawyer about your state.
 If you live in a state that infidelity does matter, there are children involved, and or significant marital assets, a pi can do the trick for you.
and lastly, check with divorce lawyers, they usually have a pi they use on a regular basis.
 I also reccomend get the ball rolling by filing for a divorce yourself, you are going to need many things during the next few months, and a lawyer thinks like a lawyer, friends are not lawyers, they do not always give good advice.
 I am gong through a divorce in florida now after a 15 year marriage, it is very hard, and now at the worst phase of the process, it will be emotional for you for a long time.
good luck

I would, if I had the $ to afford it. Specially to prove a case in court. If you have kids property and so on, I think just to Not keep wondering I would. Peace of mind,I guess...

Already covered my butt, the PI was just for me and my piece of mind.  He said that he might remarry me and at first that sounded like he has to go work something out and then he would come back but Now I am past the grieving stage and I am in the angrer stage!  Kinda like how dare think I am going to just sit around waiting for him to come back and that kinda things! So I wanted to find out what is really going on because I feel like he broke the trust we had.

if he has said he is filing, i would spend my time and money on protecting myself as quickly as possible.   that means your banking accounts, credit cards, finding all the housing, insurance paperwork, organzing your debts/assets, etc..and talking to a lawyer.  depending on your state, you may live in a no fault state, so hiring a PI may not even help you.  did you check the white info box on this page? it lists out the laws for every state.

I was thinking about hiring someone because I want to know what is going on with my hubby, and because since he recently said he filed papers for divorce (found out today at the court that he hasn't) I feel our trust is brroken. Things that made me wonder before are just screaming for me to find out the answers now.
