What evidence do I need to prove adultery?
The courts do not require eyewitness evidence to prove adultery, but what evidence will they require?
The courts do not require eyewitness evidence to prove adultery, and they will instead rely on surrounding circumstances, inclination and opportunity. If the court has circumstantial evidence, which might be as seemingly innocent as holding hands, kissing or being alone in a parked car late at night then that will probably be enough. Love letters will support the case and if the wife has a child when the father is impotent, then that is certainly proof. Similarly DNA tests may be used.
Evidence from a private detective may well support the case but on no account hire one unless you have consulted a solicitor to check this is necessary as other proof may suffice.
