Spying on Your Spouse Part II: The Danger of GPS Tracking

 

By Jonathan Fields, Esq.

You want to find out where your spouse is going when you are not with them. Are they cheating? Why not put a GPS tracker on the car?

Private investigators, even the best ones, will tell you that you can put a GPS tracker on a car that you own.  So, if your spouse is driving a car that you own, jointly or individually, they will say that this is fine.

And it’s not just the car.  There are even GPS trackers small enough to place in someone’s bag or clothing.

However, placing a GPS tracker on a spouse’s car (or somewhere else) could be considered stalking. In Massachusetts, three or more instances of following another could be considered stalking. G.L. c. 265 s.43.  Stalking is criminal — and people can go to jail for it.

Bottom line: Don’t use a GPS tracker.  The risks are not worth it.

Are you having an emotional affair? It’s hard to define, but here’s how to figure it out.

Jacklyn Collier, a 32-year-old actor in New York, remembers the moment she realized she was having an emotional affair.

At first their correspondence had felt safe, she recalled, just some witty banter. But by this point, they were talking deeply about what they wanted for their lives in terms of career and family — things she and her boyfriend of several years had rarely discussed.

A spouse unexpectedly walks into a room where her partner’s email-in-progress is lit up on the screen. In a blink, a work email replaces the previous one. Why the abrupt switch? What is being hidden? The internet is making it possible for many to find long lost loves, relationships discarded in the past that nevertheless hold elements of remembered magic. Sometimes these email exchanges are workplace relationships or casual acquaintances that have become something more.

Emotional Affairs: The New Epidemic Challenging Marriages

What are Emotional Affairs?

An emotional affair (EA) is more than a state of being “Just friends.” While it can be an elusive and subjective experience, emotional affairs are a common presenting problem that we often work on in an intensive couples retreat.

Divorce and Infidelity

The decision to divorce is never an easy one.  Typically, it is one wrought with frustration and uncertainty.  The factors that go in to the decision vary greatly from couple to couple, yet one of the most prevalent scenarios often involves adultery or the suspicion of adultery. While some couples can overcome the damage done by extramarital affairs, it often times is the tipping point for many.  When suspicions of infidelity arise they can be difficult to navigate.  The uncertainty and distrust can become toxic, regardless of an actual indiscretion.  Yet, the initial suspicion can also be the first indicator that something is not right.  If that is the case, then there are other warning signs that can often serve as indications that a partner is being unfaithful.
