Husband placing a GPS logger on wife's car.

Titled to her.

Joint insurance (we can drive each other's cars).

I can find information about 'real time' GPS devices. Where you know where the vehicle IS.

But nothing in regards to data loggers. Where the vehicle WAS.

Hoping the members here can help.

Really, seriously BAD idea.

You don't need a GPS logger. You need to reaffirm the trust and commitment of your relationship or spend the $150 on a do it yourself divorce kit.

Check this members Posting history, unfortunately, they are way beyond the $150 divorce kit. He is at the starting gates of a race/war.

Oh yeah, this guy. Remember War of the Roses?

George,

How do you think its possibly going to help your situation with your divorce if you put a gps logger on your wife's car?

You need to focus on the fact that you have been the primary caregiver to your children and let the rest go.

He's been given access to one of the best, if not the best, divorce guides available, it may start out as the War of the Roses, but, in the end, everything will work out.

I agree, NY is a no fault divorce state, proving she's screwing around doesn't mean anything to the courts. All it will do is get you MORE upset and throw off your focus.

Not so fast. While New York now enjoys the ease of a no-fault divorce, you can still obtain an "at fault" divorce and that's when things can get hairy.

While technically, fault does not generally enter the equation when dealing with New York's "equitable distribution" of the wealth, some courts have held that actions affecting the marital estate can be used as part of the determination.

It really doesn't appear that there is much of a "marital estate"...I think that this is all about the children. Therefore I think he is making a huge mistake not to simply focus on the fact that he has been the primary caretaker for the children. I think that someone has given him the idea that proving that his wife is not a good wife will somehow help him gain primary custody of the children...and that is a fallacy.

And the minute he tells the court that he spies on his wife, the court is going to be VERY open to mom's requests for things like the child not being able to do things like bring a phone (another spying device) to visitation, and all sorts of other problems. If you're in the position of primary caretaker, THAT is where your focus should be. Outing yourself to the court as subversive or having "dirty hands" is going to take the judge's view of you down a path you don't want. Be the clean shaven guy in the white hat fighting the clean fight, it's an easier win than being the jackass with the 5 o'clock shadown and the eyepatch.

he isn't even a titled owner of the car and they are in the throws of a divorce.



a really really bad idea. I haven't checked but if NY has any sort of invasion of privacy laws, this would likely fit the bill for violating the law.
