Legal Question in Family Law in New Mexico
Adultery
A few months ago, I became involved with a married man. Immediately after getting involved in the relationship, he began taking steps to end his marriage. He told his wife that he wanted out of the marriage. Shortly after telling her that he wanted to end the marriage, she told him that she was pregnant. She has also since found out about our relationship. He has admitted to her that he met me (we work for the same company) and intend to be together. While he intends to be in the childs life, under no uncertain terms does he wish to continue the marriage, he and I are relocating to a new city. I have since been contacted by an attorney for her.
I am assuming she is going for a ''fault divorce'' asserting adultery. I am now wondering what involvement she can place me in the divorce process. Any advice you can give me is helpful.
Thanks.

Re: Adultery
You absolutely need to speak with a lawyer. This bulletin board can answer general questions about the area of law call "alienation of affection" but you are past that point. You need some very specific advice and you need it now. Your note did not say what the other lawyer said to you but you alluded to what you think your friend's wife will want from you. It sounds like your legal troubles with this man are just beginning.
This law guru says: Get a lawyer and ask for advice about this instant legal problem and ask for some advice about general behavior that will help you avoid such legal problems in your life in the future. After you get the advice - follow it!
Read some of my previous posts to other questions and you will see my suggestions about how to obtain a lawyer.
Good luck. . . .
