There was a time were we had an "open" relationship. We had best friends move in with us for a year and half. Her friend was having relation ship problems, and was only moving in for a few weeks. But since the relationship was open, things got pretty wild. She seemed fine with it, actually she initiated it. After we got married all three of us agreed that this type of relationship had to end.
We ended up moving to California, and she quit her job. She didn't have any friends out there, but either did I. We are both the kind of person where we didn't need anyone else except for each other.
I had work friends, but I spend all day with them, so I didn't really want to spend more time with them after work.
Well I don't know the what she is thinking. I'm sure there is something, but she has passed the line of no return. There is no trust. In fact I don't really care. She has left and living out of a hotel now. She thinks she is going to get everything. What ever.
My lawyer has not gotten back to me about how legal the recording is. Yes she did not know she was being recorded. But I'm thinking it's not legal either. But this should give us the edge and let us just settle out of court.

I'm assuming you still live in CA.
also how is she paying for the hotel if she's not working? running up bills on credit cards that YOU are paying for?

Cal. Penal Code §§ 631, 632: It is a crime in California to intercept or eavesdrop upon any confidential communication, including a telephone call or wire communication, without the consent of all parties.
It is also a crime to disclose information obtained from such an interception. A first offense is punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and imprisonment for no more than one year. Subsequent offenses carry a maximum fine of $10,000 and jail sentence of up to one year.
Eavesdropping upon or recording a conversation, whether by telephone (including cordless or cellular telephone) or in person, that a person would reasonably expect to be confined to the parties present, carries the same penalty as intercepting telephone or wire communications.
Conversations occurring at any public gathering that one should expect to be overheard, including any legislative, judicial or executive proceeding open to the public, are not covered by the law.
An appellate court has ruled that using a hidden video camera violates the statute. California v. Gibbons, 215 Cal. App. 3d 1204 (1989). However, a television network that used a hidden camera to videotape a conversation that took place at a business lunch meeting on a crowded outdoor patio of a public restaurant that did not include "secret" information did not violate the Penal Code's prohibition against eavesdropping because it was not a "confidential communication." Wilkins v. NBC, Inc., 71 Cal. App. 4th 1066 (1999).
Anyone injured by a violation of the wiretapping laws can recover civil damages of $5,000 or three times actual damages, whichever is greater. Cal. Penal Code § 637.2(a). A civil action for invasion of privacy also may be brought against the person who committed the violation. Cal. Penal Code § 637.2.
