Marital Spying
While marital spying could land a spouse in hot water, it can also put attorneys in some sticky situations. Divorce lawyers say they are treading very carefully as to how they handle feuding spouses who spy on each other. Clients will often tell their lawyers they have proof that their spouses are cheating, but they will not disclose how they got it. Other times, they might wiretap or open private e-mails without knowing this was illegal, and then tell their lawyer about it. Lawyers have to be extremely careful not to condone or listen to information gained through these methods. They must also be cautious when discussing spying tactics with clients, because they could be held liable if they review, or even know about, private information obtained illegally.
Anxiety and Therapy in Parenting
While courts often use parents' psychiatric conditions as a basis for custody decisions, solid research on the actual impact of parental mental illness on children is limited (For an overview of this issue see Jenuwine & Cohler, 1999). Common sense and clinical wisdom converge in suggesting that parental mental health is an important factor in parenting. However, systematic empirical studies of children of even severely mentally ill parents often show that common sense and clinical wisdom can be mistaken. Children are much less affected by their parent's illness than one would think.
