Draft of Petition by wife for judicial separation on the grounds of her husband’s adultery

When a wife discovers that her husband has committed adultery, she may file a petition for judicial separation on the grounds of his infidelity. Judicial separation is a legal process that allows a couple to live apart while remaining legally married. The petition should be filed in the appropriate court where the wife resides, and it should include evidence of the husband’s adultery. The wife can request the court to grant her judicial separation and to make orders for spousal support, property division, and other related matters.
