Population Statistic: Read. React. Repeat.
Saturday, September 15, 2007

I’ve certainly been aware of sniffer programs like PC Pandora, and how popular they are with otherwise happily-married couples.

I wasn’t aware just how popular they are:

“In just about every case now, to some extent, there is some electronic evidence,” said Gaetano Ferro, president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, who also runs seminars on gathering electronic evidence. “It has completely changed our field.”…

Divorce lawyers say their files are filled with cases like these. Three-quarters of the cases of Nancy Chemtob, a divorce lawyer in Manhattan, now involve some kind of electronic communications. She says she routinely asks judges for court orders to seize and copy the hard drives in the computers of her clients’ spouses, particularly if there is an opportunity to glimpse a couple’s full financial picture, or a parent’s suitability to be the custodian of the children.

Yep, I’m aiming to get married real soon.
