∙ 12y agoFirst you need to determine if adultery is one of the grounds for divorce in your jurisdiction. Then you need to consult with an attorney who specializes in divorce to determine what type of proof you will need to file on the grounds of adultery. You may need the collaboration of a third party, phone records, proof that your spouse spent time alone with the other party, photos, copies of hotel bills, eyewitness testimony from a private detective, etc. Laws vary and you need the advice of an attorney in your particular jurisdiction.

Where is your proof of adultery?
pregnancy
If your wife gets pregnant by another man can you divorce her and take custody of your 1 son you have together?
Adultery is obviously a very valid grounds for divorce and the fact that your wife is pregnant by another man is clear proof that it took place. The fact that she committed adultery is NOT however going to grant you custody of your child and not allow her any rights. When determining custody, the courts look to the best interest of the child and although the parents may have their differences, it is usually best for children to see and be around both of their parents. Adultery and questionable living situations may be a factor in the determination of which parent the child gets to live with.

No. The law presumes that adults married or not enter into relationships of their own free will and that being the case they are solely responsible for the consequences.

The unfaithful spouse made the choice to commit adultery that is a matter of morals not a legal one that being the case damage to the relationship is the fault of the unfaithful spouse not the other party.

What are the causes for divorce in South Carolina?
I think that you mean the grounds for divorce.No-Fault Divorce: (1) on the application of either party if and when the husband and wife have lived separate and apart without cohabitation for a period of one year.This means that you must actually physically separate and live in separate houses for one year. You cannot remain in the same house and obtain a South Carolina no fault divorce.Fault: (1) adultery; (2) desertion for a period of one year; (3) physical cruelty; (4) habitual drunkenness; provided, that this ground shall be construed to include habitual drunkenness caused by the use of any narcotic drug.For adultery you will need to prove inclination and opportunity. Even if one party admits to adultery, that is not sufficient grounds for a divorce. Normally such evidence is gathered by retaining a private investigator.Desertion or more commonly called abandonment must be the complete cutting off of contact and support.Physical cruelty requires some proof of the abuse such as doctor's reports. A single incident will probably not be sufficient cause, you will need to show a repetitive pattern. Mental or verbal abuse is not a grounds for divorce in South Carolina.Habitual drunkenness is not going out on every Saturday night and getting loaded. It means that it is an everyday thing that prevents the person from performing the normal activities of everyday life. "In order to prove habitual drunkenness, there must be a showing that the abuse of alcohol caused the breakdown of the marriage and that such abuse existed at or near the time of filing for divorce." Epperly v. Epperly, 312 S.C. 411, 414, 440 S.E.2d 884, 885 (1994).For all of the grounds for a South Carolina divorce the court will require sufficient evidence and the actual testimony of a third party witness. Just an admission by a party is not sufficient proof.
