A family law Attorney knows that voluntary sexual intercourse with your partner after having knowledge of the wrong done and/or during the pendency of a divorce matter amount to reconciliation
If an aggrieved party voluntarily engages in sexual intercourse after having knowledge of the wrong done to him by the erring party, the said aggrieved party is deemed to have reconciled with the erring party and has condoned the wrong done to him or her. A typical example is when an aggrieved party in a divorce matter claims that the erring party had committed adultery and relies on it as a ground for divorce. The said aggrieved party is not expected to engage in sexual intercourse with the erring party after he/she is aware of the adultery. Any voluntary sexual intercourse with such an erring party after knowledge of the wrong is deemed as condonation and as such reconciliation in law.
Similarly, if parties to a divorce matter voluntarily engage in sexual intercourse during the pendency of a divorce matter, the said parties are deemed to have reconciled under the law.
Voluntary sexual intercourse either after knowledge of the wrong done or during the pendency of a divorce matter is seen as a form of reconciliation in the eyes of the law.
To succeed, it is therefore advised that a party seeking divorce should stay off engaging in sexual relations with the other partner, after he has knowledge of the wrong and also during the pendency of the matrimonial suit.
