Journal gmhowell's Journal: Adul[tt]ery 9

Journal by gmhowell

My investigation and layman's understanding of adultery in MD has yielded some good news and some bad news.

The bad news: you don't need pr0n photos to prove it. And any act prior to a final decree of divorce is adultery.

The good news: in Maryland, it is only a ground for divorce. It isn't figured into alimony, child support, custody, etc. Well, it can figure into alimony, but only under certain circumstances.

On balance, it seems that it might be okay to go out on a da[tt]e.

      That's a curiosity of the situation and the legal environment. Maryland has no 'legal separation' (Ohio does, BTW). We could sign an agreement saying that we are 'legally separated' and allowed to fuck whomever we please. Seeing as how she won't even let me have any kind of parental rights, I don't think she's gonna let me be free to get nookie. We are no longer cohabitating, but that is not the same as a legal separation. De facto separation isn't enough in Md (not sure and don't care much about Ohio) to a

      Why are they in the legal jargon? Beats the hell out of me.

      Why am I investigating them? I'm sure Mr. Paoloni will ask me in 13 days.

    "ADULTERY Adultery is sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than the spouse. In Maryland, neither cunnilingus nor fellatio, which the law defines as sodomy, is a ground for divorce and generally neither is considered adultery. The sexual intercourse must involve some penetration of the female organ by the male organ, but a "completion" of the sexual intercourse is not required."

    So you can have oral sex, as well as any oth

    • I guess that makes cybersex safe as well.

      • And if you read the notes, all gay and lesbian sex as well, as there's no penetration, even partially, of a vagina by a penis.

        The law can be a strange thing at times. Why not just do like we do up here - anything that happens after a separation or filing of divorce is off limits, and remove adultery as grounds for divorce (the only grounds for divorce are a desire by one of the parties to end the marriage, hence the term "no-fault divorce").

        • I'm overdue for a dose of common sense, and any place with common sense laws sounds like just the place for me.

          • If you're looking for common-sense laws, we have some very un-common-sense laws. We have language police who go around with measuring tape making sure that indoor english signs are no more than half the size of french signs, and that outdoor signs are in french - unless you're some big multinational fat-food joint, for some reason.

            But our marriage and divorce laws are pretty sensible.

            Any two adults can enter into a civl union. Any two adults, of either sex, can get married provided they're both single.
