Hire a Hacker to Catch a Cheating Partner — The Complete Guide to Lawful Investigation, Authorised Forensics, and Court-Admissible Evidence

Introduction — The Question Behind the Search

When someone searches hire a hacker to catch a cheating partner, the word they are really searching for is truth. Not surveillance for its own sake. Not revenge. Truth — verified, documented, factual truth about a relationship that may or may not be what it appears, gathered through methods that they can act on, that their legal team can rely on, and that courts will accept as evidence.

The search for truth about infidelity is one of the oldest and most consistently human investigations. What is new in 2026 is the scale of the digital dimension. Relationships that were previously conducted in person now leave extensive digital traces — WhatsApp conversations, Instagram direct messages, location data, email records, social media activity patterns, deleted photographs with GPS metadata, and application usage records that collectively tell a story more complete than anything a traditional investigation could document alone.

The professional who delivers this truth is not someone who accesses another person’s private accounts or devices covertly. The professional who delivers truth that is actually useful is a licensed private investigator who combines open-source intelligence analysis, licensed surveillance, background investigation, and where applicable authorised digital forensics on devices the client owns — delivering cheating spouse private investigator services through entirely lawful methods that produce documented, verified, court-admissible evidence.

This guide is the complete reference for anyone who wants to understand what that professional investigation process actually looks like — technically, practically, and in terms of the evidence it produces. It covers the four lawful methodologies that Encoder Site Agency’s licensed investigators apply, the digital forensics dimension that adds the deepest documentary evidence, the specific use cases where each methodology is most decisive, the complete extended service range, and how to get started with a free confidential consultation today.

Encoder Site Agency Ltd at https://www.encodersite.com/ provides licensed private investigation, authorised digital forensics, certified ethical hacking, social media account recovery, cryptocurrency fraud investigation, and comprehensive business cybersecurity services across the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, and globally.

Part 2 — The Four Lawful Methodologies — How Encoder Site Agency Catches a Cheating Partner

🔍

When clients hire a hacker to catch a cheating partner from Encoder Site Agency, they are engaging a licensed investigation team that operates within four integrated lawful methodologies. The combination of all four produces evidence that is significantly more complete and more credible than any individual approach alone — because each methodology illuminates a different dimension of the subject’s activities, and the corroboration between independent sources creates an evidence picture that is extremely difficult to challenge.

This guide presents each methodology in the technical and practical depth that helps clients understand what they are getting and why it works.

2.1 📡 Open-Source Intelligence Investigation — The Digital Footprint Everyone Leaves

Open-source intelligence investigation — OSINT — is the systematic professional analysis of everything that is publicly accessible about a subject’s digital activity. It is the first methodology applied in every Encoder Site Agency cheating spouse private investigator services engagement, because it is the fastest to begin, requires no physical access to any device or premises, and consistently reveals more than clients expect.

The misconception that most people bring to their first discussion with Encoder Site Agency’s investigators is the assumption that a subject who is conducting an affair will be careful about their online presence. In practice, subjects who are careful about private messaging are frequently much less careful about semi-public digital activity — and the gap between what they believe is private and what a professional OSINT analyst can access through entirely public sources is often substantial.

What OSINT analysis examines across every major platform:

Facebook public activity — Public posts, publicly visible connections and friend interactions, tagged photographs with embedded GPS metadata and timestamps, public event attendance, publicly visible relationship status changes, and any content the subject has made visible beyond their restricted friend list. Encoder Site Agency’s analysts examine the Facebook activity timeline, the publicly visible interaction history with other accounts, and the pattern of activity during periods that correlate with other evidence. Facebook’s security information is at https://www.facebook.com/security.

Instagram public activity — Public post history with location tags, Story highlights that remain publicly visible, tagged content from other accounts, comment and interaction patterns with specific accounts, publicly visible follower and following changes, and any activity on the subject’s connected Facebook account that surfaces in Instagram’s cross-platform data. Instagram’s account security guidance is at https://help.instagram.com/454951664593839.

Snapchat public activity — Snap Map public location data where the subject has enabled location sharing, public Story content, and any publicly visible activity on connected platforms. Snapchat’s support is at https://support.snapchat.com/. For cases involving child safety concerns, the Internet Watch Foundation at https://www.iwf.org.uk/ and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at https://www.missingkids.org/NetSmartz provide additional resources.

Twitter, LinkedIn, and TikTok — Post history, interaction patterns with specific accounts, professional connection changes, and activity timing patterns that correlate with other evidence categories.

Publicly accessible location records — Check-ins, tagged location posts, event attendance records, and any other publicly accessible location data across all platforms.

The OSINT analysis typically produces its first significant findings within 24 to 48 hours of engagement — providing both standalone evidential value and the intelligence direction that focuses subsequent surveillance on the most productive locations, timings, and connections.

2.2 📷 Licensed Physical Surveillance — What Happens in Public Cannot Be Private

Physical surveillance by licensed private investigators is the methodology that most clients think of first when they decide to hire a hacker to catch a cheating partner — and it is the methodology that produces the most immediately compelling visual evidence for legal proceedings.

Licensed private investigators conduct physical surveillance of the subject in public locations — documenting meetings, activities, movements, and interactions through timestamped photography and video recording. Activity that occurs in public spaces carries no reasonable expectation of privacy in any of the jurisdictions where Encoder Site Agency operates, and visual documentation of public activity is entirely lawful and directly admissible in legal proceedings.

Encoder Site Agency’s surveillance investigators operate under ASIS International professional standards at https://www.asisonline.org and, for UK engagements, the Association of British Investigators at https://www.theabi.org.uk. Professional investigator testimony carries significantly more weight in family court, financial remedy, and custody proceedings than personal testimony from a spouse with a direct interest in the outcome — because a professional witness with documented methodology and no personal stake in the proceedings is evaluated differently than a party to the dispute.

What surveillance documents:

Meetings with specific individuals in public locations — restaurants, hotels, vehicles, residential premises in public view, commercial premises, and public spaces of all kinds.

The identity and characteristics of individuals the subject meets — through professional photography that produces clear identification evidence.

Behavioural patterns consistent with the factual questions being investigated — activities, interactions, timing, frequency, and location choices that correlate with other evidence categories.

Timestamped visual documentation of activities that contradict testimony about the subject’s whereabouts and activities — the most directly compelling evidence in proceedings where credibility is contested.

For clients in the USA, UK, Australia, and Canada, surveillance evidence documented by a licensed investigator is admissible in family court proceedings, financial remedy applications, and custody cases. The professional documentation standard — timestamped, methodologically recorded, produced by a licenced investigator — gives surveillance evidence the credibility that personal observation cannot provide.

2.3 🗂️ Background Investigation — What Records Reveal About the Whole Picture

Background investigation examines publicly accessible records about the subject — establishing factual context that informs and directs the investigation, identifying connections and patterns that OSINT and surveillance alone do not reveal, and in some cases producing standalone evidential findings about financial activity, associations, and history that are directly relevant to proceedings.

What background investigation examines:

Address history — Every address officially associated with the subject through public records, identifying addresses the client may not be aware of and that may represent the location of a secondary relationship.

Companies House or business registration records — Business interests, directorships, and financial associations that may document financial activity relevant to proceedings.

Court and litigation records — Any publicly accessible civil or criminal court records involving the subject, including any previous proceedings relevant to character or conduct.

Professional and employment history — Publicly accessible professional records, LinkedIn history, and employment verification that establishes context for the subject’s movements and activities.

Known associations — Connections between the subject and specific individuals identified through OSINT and surveillance — cross-referencing publicly accessible records to establish the nature and history of relationships the subject may be concealing.

For US cases, publicly accessible state and federal court records, property records, and professional licensing databases are components of the background investigation scope. For UK cases, Companies House records, the electoral roll, and public court registers contribute to the evidence picture. For Australian cases, ASIC records and state court registers. For Canadian cases, provincial business and court records.

2.4 📱 Authorised Digital Forensics — The Deepest Evidence From Devices You Own

The fourth methodology is the one that consistently produces the most detailed and temporally specific evidence — and the one that clients most frequently misunderstand before their first consultation with Encoder Site Agency’s investigators.

Authorised digital forensics examines devices that the commissioning client owns — recovering deleted messages, location records, application data, and media files from their own iPhone, Android phone, or other devices through professional forensic analysis following NIST SP 800-101 at https://www.nist.gov/publications/guidelines-mobile-device-forensics.

This methodology is entirely distinct from — and must never be confused with — accessing a partner’s device without their consent. Accessing another person’s device or accounts without their explicit consent is not a service that Encoder Site Agency provides under any circumstances. What our forensic team provides is analysis of devices the client owns, conducted with documented ownership verification, producing evidence that courts across all jurisdictions we serve will accept.

Why the client’s own device frequently contains critical evidence:

When a couple shares a household, shares devices, or has historically had mutual access to devices, the client’s own phone frequently contains more evidence than they initially realise. WhatsApp conversations the partner conducted using the client’s phone. Location records on the client’s device that document shared journeys and then unexplained absences. iMessages sent between partners through shared accounts. Email correspondence conducted through email addresses the client has access to. Application data on jointly used devices.

When a device is jointly owned — a family tablet, a shared computer — the client has documented authority to have that device examined. The forensic analysis produces findings from that jointly owned device that are admissible because ownership and authority are documented before analysis begins.

The authorised digital forensics component covers every application and data category described in detail in Part 3 of this guide.

Part 3 — Authorised Device Forensics in Infidelity Investigation — The Technical Detail

🔬

3.1 💬 WhatsApp Forensics — The Most Frequently Decisive Evidence Source

In infidelity investigations conducted across the USA, UK, Australia, and Canada, WhatsApp evidence from authorised device forensics is the most frequently decisive single evidence source — because WhatsApp is used as a primary communication channel for exactly the conversations that subjects most want to conceal and most urgently delete.

When clients hire a hacker to catch a cheating partner and commission device forensics, WhatsApp forensics from a device they own produces evidence from two independent technical sources.

The primary database source — WhatsApp stores its message data in a SQLite database called ChatStorage.sqlite on iOS and msgstore.db on Android. When messages are deleted within WhatsApp, the database records persist in unallocated space until new messaging activity physically overwrites them. Encoder Site Agency’s forensic analysts use Cellebrite UFED at https://cellebrite.com and Magnet AXIOM at https://www.magnetforensics.com to examine this database below the application interface level — recovering deleted conversation records, media file references, call logs, and contact data that the subject deleted before discovery.

The backup source — WhatsApp creates encrypted backup files on iOS through iCloud and on Android through Google Drive or local storage, on a daily or weekly schedule. A backup created before a deletion event contains the deleted messages in their complete pre-deletion state. Professional analysis of these backup files, combined with the encryption key stored locally on the device, provides a recovery pathway entirely independent of the primary database’s overwriting limitation. WhatsApp security documentation is at https://www.whatsapp.com/security.

The complete WhatsApp forensic dataset from authorised device analysis includes deleted conversation content, photographs and videos shared through WhatsApp, voice notes, video and voice call logs with timestamps and duration records, group membership records, contact list data, and message delivery and read receipts that establish whether specific messages were sent and received and when.

Every WhatsApp forensic engagement follows NIST SP 800-101 throughout with SWGDE standards at https://www.swgde.org governing evidence handling — producing findings that are admissible as evidence in family court, financial remedy, and custody proceedings globally.

3.2 📱 iPhone Forensics — Beyond WhatsApp

Authorised iPhone forensic analysis from a device the client owns produces a significantly broader dataset than WhatsApp alone — covering every application and system function that may contain evidence relevant to the investigation.

Encoder Site Agency uses Cellebrite UFED, Magnet AXIOM, and Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit at https://www.elcomsoft.com for iPhone forensics. Apple’s iOS security architecture documentation is at https://support.apple.com/guide/security/welcome/web.

The complete iPhone forensic dataset relevant to infidelity investigations includes deleted iMessages and SMS messages from the primary sms.db database and the iOS Spotlight search index, call records for voice, FaceTime, and VoIP calls, photographs and videos with complete EXIF metadata including GPS coordinates and precise timestamps, WhatsApp data as described above, Facebook Messenger data from the application database and iOS notification database, Instagram Direct Message history, Snapchat message data and Snap Map location records, the iOS Significant Locations database recording frequently visited places with visit timestamps and duration records, Wi-Fi network connection history that can establish presence at specific locations, browser history including private browsing artefacts in iOS system databases, financial application records documenting expenditure patterns, and system event logs documenting the complete device activity timeline.

The iOS Significant Locations database deserves specific mention in infidelity investigation cases — because it records the subject’s regularly visited locations with timestamps and duration records automatically, through a system-level iOS function entirely independent of any application. For cases where establishing a pattern of visits to a specific address is evidentially significant, the Significant Locations database provides a system-generated record of extraordinary precision and persistence.

3.3 📲 Android Forensics — The Same Depth on Different Architecture

Android device forensics from devices the client owns follows the same NIST SP 800-101 methodology as iPhone forensics — recovering the same categories of deleted data, location records, and application evidence across Android’s more diverse device ecosystem.

The specific WhatsApp database on Android — msgstore.db — is subject to the same unallocated space recovery methodology as the iOS version. Android location history through Google Maps at https://maps.google.com and Android’s own location services databases provides GPS evidence comparable to the iOS Significant Locations system. Android’s Google Drive backup integration may provide additional WhatsApp backup recovery sources comparable to the iCloud backup pathway available for iOS.

Part 4 — Social Media and Email Evidence in Infidelity Investigations

📱

4.1 Social Media Application Data Recovery

Beyond WhatsApp, Instagram, and Snapchat — whose forensic recovery profiles are covered in the sections above — several additional social media applications may be relevant to specific infidelity investigation cases.

Discord data recovery from an authorised device examines both the Discord application database and the iOS notification database for message records relevant to the investigation. Discord’s safety centre is at https://discord.com/safety.

Roblox activity records from a device the client owns may in some cases document communication patterns or activity at specific times relevant to the factual questions of the investigation. Roblox’s official support is at https://en.help.roblox.com/.

Facebook Messenger forensics from an authorised device recovers deleted Messenger conversations, media files, and activity records from the application database and the iOS notification database. Facebook security guidance is at https://www.facebook.com/security.

4.2 Email Forensics — Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and Microsoft

Email accounts that the client has documented access to — or email applications on a device the client owns — may contain relevant evidence for infidelity investigations. Gmail security guidance is at https://safety.google/security/security-tips/. Yahoo Mail support is at https://help.yahoo.com/kb/account. Microsoft Outlook and account recovery guidance is at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/recover-your-microsoft-account. Microsoft security resources are at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security.

Email application forensics from devices the client owns recovers locally cached email content — including emails that have been deleted from the account — from the application’s local storage on both iOS and Android.

Part 5 — How Infidelity Investigation Evidence Is Formatted for Legal Proceedings

⚖️

When clients hire a hacker to catch a cheating partner and the investigation produces findings, the format in which those findings are presented determines whether they can be acted on in legal proceedings.

The Four Evidence Formats Encoder Site Agency Produces

Surveillance evidence package — Timestamped photographs and video recordings organised chronologically, with investigator testimony documentation confirming the circumstances of each observation. Formatted for family court proceedings, financial remedy applications, and custody cases in the USA, UK, Australia, and Canada.

OSINT intelligence report — A structured documented summary of publicly accessible digital evidence, with source references and evidence dates, formatted for legal proceedings and providing the documented public record that complements physical surveillance findings.

Background investigation report — A structured summary of publicly accessible records, with source documentation, formatted for legal proceedings and providing the factual context that supports the interpretation of surveillance and OSINT findings.

Digital forensic report — Hash-verified forensic findings from authorised device analysis, with chain of custody documentation, methodology explanation sufficient for expert witness testimony, and formatting appropriate for the specific jurisdiction’s evidentiary requirements. Encoder Site Agency’s forensic analysts are available for expert witness engagement in US, UK, Australian, Canadian, and international proceedings.

The Integrated Evidence Package

When all four methodologies are deployed within a single engagement, Encoder Site Agency produces an integrated evidence package that presents the findings from each methodology in a structured, corroborated format — with cross-references between surveillance, OSINT, background, and forensic evidence categories that demonstrate the independent verification of key factual questions through multiple sources.

This integrated package is the most credible form of infidelity investigation evidence available — because the corroboration between independent methodologies is significantly more difficult to challenge than findings from a single source.

Part 6 — The Extended Service Range — Everything Connected to Infidelity Investigation

🛡️

6.1 📱 Social Media Account Recovery

When an infidelity investigation reveals that a client’s own social media accounts have been accessed by their partner without consent — a separate and significant concern that clients sometimes discover during the investigation process — Encoder Site Agency provides certified account recovery for every major platform.

Instagram recovery including disabled account support at https://help.instagram.com/149494825257596 and disabled account appeals at https://help.instagram.com/366993040048856/. Facebook and Business Manager recovery. Snapchat recovery through professional platform escalation. Discord token theft recovery. Roblox ownership documentation. Gmail recovery with security guidance at https://safety.google/security/security-tips/. Yahoo Mail recovery at https://help.yahoo.com/kb/account. Outlook and Microsoft account recovery. All account recovery services through https://www.encodersite.com/.

6.2 ₿ Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin Fraud Investigation

Financial investigations connected to infidelity cases increasingly encounter cryptocurrency dimensions — hidden assets in cryptocurrency wallets, unexplained transfers to cryptocurrency exchanges, and in some cases cryptocurrency investment fraud that the client only becomes aware of during the investigation process.

Encoder Site Agency’s certified blockchain forensic analysts trace cryptocurrency transaction trails through the permanent public blockchain record. Bitcoin transactions are traceable through Blockchain.com at https://www.blockchain.com/explorer. Ethereum transactions are traceable through Etherscan at https://etherscan.io/. Report cryptocurrency fraud to the FBI IC3 at https://www.ic3.gov in the USA and Action Fraud at https://www.actionfraud.police.uk in the UK. Australian victims report to Scamwatch at https://www.scamwatch.gov.au. Canadian victims report to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at https://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca. European victims report through Europol at https://www.europol.europa.eu/report-a-crime/report-cybercrime-online. The FCA ScamSmart list at https://www.fca.org.uk/scamsmart identifies fraudulent UK financial services. The FTC’s cryptocurrency fraud guidance is at https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/what-know-about-cryptocurrency-and-scams.

6.3 🔐 Penetration Testing and Business Cybersecurity

For business owners whose infidelity investigation raises concerns about the security of business systems — specifically where a partner had access to business devices, accounts, or infrastructure — Encoder Site Agency provides certified penetration testing following the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide at https://owasp.org and addressing the OWASP Top 10 at https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten.

Red team operations use the MITRE ATT&CK framework at https://attack.mitre.org. CREST at https://www.crest-approved.org provides UK and international regulated-sector accreditation. Cloud security audits examine AWS, Azure, and GCP environments against the CIS Benchmarks at https://www.cisecurity.org. Cyber Essentials Plus at https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberessentials/overview defines the UK certification framework. US organisations report incidents to CISA at https://www.cisa.gov/report. UK organisations report data breaches to the ICO at https://ico.org.uk/report-a-breach within 72 hours. Secure code review uses Semgrep at https://semgrep.dev and Snyk at https://snyk.io referencing the National Vulnerability Database at https://nvd.nist.gov. All cybersecurity services are through https://www.encodersite.com/.

6.4 🌐 The Full Private Investigation Services Range

Beyond infidelity investigation, Encoder Site Agency’s licensed investigators provide corporate due diligence, employee misconduct investigation, insurance fraud investigation, background verification, asset investigation, and missing persons services. The professional private investigation services team is at https://www.encodersite.com/professional-private-investigators/ and all investigation services are at https://www.encodersite.com/private-investigator-services/.

Part 7 — Private Investigator Infidelity Cost — Transparent Pricing for Every Methodology

💰

The private investigator infidelity cost question is one of the most common first questions clients ask — and the honest answer is that it varies meaningfully by the methodology combination deployed, the geographic location of the investigation, the duration required, and the depth of digital forensics involved. Encoder Site Agency provides clear, transparent, itemised private investigator infidelity cost estimates during every free initial consultation.

OSINT Investigation Pricing

OSINT analysis typically starts at a few hundred dollars or pounds and scales with the number of platforms analysed, the depth of historical record examination, and the scope of the investigation brief. As the fastest methodology to deploy, OSINT is frequently the first component engaged — often producing initial findings within 24 to 48 hours that inform the direction of subsequent investigation activities.

Surveillance Pricing

Licensed surveillance pricing is structured around the number of surveillance sessions, their duration, the geographic area, and whether multiple investigators are required. UK and US urban surveillance typically carries different pricing from rural or international engagement. Encoder Site Agency provides a transparent per-session and total engagement estimate during the initial consultation.

Background Investigation Pricing

Background investigation for infidelity cases typically starts at a few hundred dollars or pounds and scales with the depth of record examination, the number of jurisdictions involved, and the scope of financial and professional records required.

Authorised Device Forensics Pricing

Device forensic analysis starts at several hundred dollars or pounds for standard iPhone or Android analysis and scales with the depth of acquisition required, the number of applications in scope, and the documentation standard needed — personal summary or court-ready forensic report.

Integrated Investigation Package Pricing

Where all four methodologies are deployed within a single cheating spouse private investigator services engagement, Encoder Site Agency scopes and prices the package as an integrated service — typically more cost-effective than addressing each methodology through separate engagements.

The total private investigator infidelity cost for a comprehensive integrated engagement — covering OSINT, surveillance, background investigation, and authorised device forensics — reflects the professional capability, licensed investigator hours, forensic analysis, and documented evidence package delivered. Every client receives a specific, itemised breakdown before committing to anything.

Part 8 — Real Client Profiles — Who Hires a Hacker to Catch a Cheating Partner

👥

8.1 The Individual Navigating a Divorce Where Evidence Matters

A person who suspects infidelity and is about to enter divorce proceedings needs documented evidence that their attorney can work with — not a personal account of suspicion, but a professionally produced evidence package that addresses the specific factual questions relevant to the proceedings. Encoder Site Agency’s integrated investigation package is formatted specifically for the legal proceedings requirements of the relevant jurisdiction.

8.2 The Person Seeking Truth Before Making a Life Decision

Not every infidelity investigation is in a legal context. Many clients hire a hacker to catch a cheating partner simply because they need to know the truth before making a decision about their relationship — and they want that truth documented by a professional rather than left to their own emotional interpretation of ambiguous signals. For these clients, the investigation provides the factual clarity that personal assessment cannot deliver.

8.3 The Parent Concerned About Their Children’s Welfare

A parent who suspects their partner of infidelity that may affect the welfare of their children — involving the children in concealment, conducting the relationship in the presence of children, or bringing unknown individuals into the children’s environment — has a specific, welfare-focused investigation need that Encoder Site Agency addresses with the appropriate sensitivity and legal framework.

8.4 The Business Owner With Shared Commercial Assets

When a relationship involves jointly owned business assets — shared companies, joint investments, shared commercial property — infidelity frequently has a financial dimension that extends into asset protection and commercial dispute territory. Encoder Site Agency’s investigation services address both the personal and commercial dimensions within a single coordinated engagement.

8.5 The Person Who Suspects Hidden Financial Activity Alongside Infidelity

When a partner’s unexplained absences are accompanied by unexplained financial activity — transfers, withdrawals, cryptocurrency movements — the infidelity investigation has a financial forensics dimension that requires background investigation, device forensics, and in some cases blockchain forensic analysis alongside the personal investigation. Encoder Site Agency’s multi-disciplinary engagement framework covers all dimensions simultaneously.

8.6 The Client Whose Partner Has Also Accessed Their Own Accounts

Some clients who come to hire a hacker to catch a cheating partner discover during the initial consultation that they are also dealing with unauthorised access to their own accounts — social media, email, or financial platforms. Encoder Site Agency addresses account recovery alongside the investigation within a single integrated engagement.

8.7 The Client Whose Partner Has Been Accessing Their Device

Situations involving a wife caught hacking husband’s phone — or any variation of a partner accessing a device without consent — are more common than most clients expect. When a client discovers that their partner has been reading their messages, accessing their accounts, or monitoring their device activity, the investigation need shifts to documenting the unauthorised access alongside the infidelity investigation. Encoder Site Agency addresses both simultaneously — conducting the infidelity investigation through the four lawful methodologies described in this guide while also documenting the unauthorised device access for the client’s legal team. Whether it is a wife caught hacking husband’s phone, a husband monitoring a wife’s accounts, or any other form of digital surveillance conducted without consent within a relationship, our team provides professional documentation that supports both the infidelity case and any separate legal action arising from the unauthorised access.
