I have a friend who is sort of trying to go through a divorce, but doesn't want to lose her kids. On the other hand, she is the one cheating, and she admitted it unknowingly on tape to her husband. Granted, she is cheating on an ex-student (she's a High School teacher) who is a girl, but he knows about it all. Now he's blackmailing her with them saying she either gets a divorce and then comes crawling back, or she gives him primary custody of the kids and she gets them whenever he says. He has kicked the other girl out of their lives, but has recently came up with a proposition for them all to be friends - a threesome. She's not so sure what to do and her lawyer says not to give up without a fight. What should she do?

Okay, so let me get this straight. She is cheating on her husband with a high school student? A divorce is the least of her troubles. Statutory rape and sex with a minor are her major ones. Those are jail time and a permanent record as a sex offender.
This is just Jerry Springer enough to be believable.
If this is the case, than she is in deep doo-doo. Her husband has the goods on her that could put her away in prison.
If that is not the case, and everything is on the up-and-up other than having an affair with a person of adult age (18 and up), she has no worries. In the U.S. affairs mean nothing in divorce cases. The kids will almost always stay with the mom unless she is unfit, say like a meth addict.

The only thing I know for sure is that her husband can't get primary custody just because she cheated on him! She would have to be one of the worlds worst mom's to have her kid's taken away from her. And even she he did win the court says when she sees the kids not him! She just needs to talk to her lawyer and go ahead and file for divorce. I don't know the whole store but if all she did was cheat and didn't do anything that can harm her kid's I don't see why they would be taken from her.

Trust her lawyer and refuse to be blackmailed. Divorce court and custody fights are not good but if the marriage is over - then they need to move on for the kids. Infidelity is NOT supposed to have any impact on custody decions....but I am not a lawyer.

Get a good attorney, cheating isn't enough to loose your kids over unless it is detrimental to them in some way, just an easier way to get divorced!

Sounds like she got herself into a bigger mess and if she continues to listen to him it will get even bigger.
Listen to the lawyer fight with all her might.....and start logging everything he is trying to do to her....threesome and such....I'm so sure.
Best wishes

Interesting...buy twisted. She needs professional legal advice....not the fodder you will find here. As a rule, that is.
