In 2006, civil rights activist Tarana Burke founded the Me Too movement to raise awareness regarding the pervasiveness of sexual abuse and assault in society. Then in 2017, the hashtag #metoo spread across all social media platforms following allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. In the months since, a slew of claims have come into the spotlight. While much of the societal focus during this movement has been on the victims’ difficult but courageous decisions to come forward and share their harrowing stories, a particularly intriguing aspect of this movement for divorce lawyers is exploring the steps a client should take when his or her spouse has committed sexual misconduct against another person. Spouses of alleged perpetrators often consider divorce following sexual harassment or assault allegations that come about during their marriage, but many of them don’t realize that time is of the essence in these types of cases. If it is likely that the allegations against one’s spouse will be proven true, our lawyers here at The Stevens Firm encourage clients to reach out and ask for legal advice as soon as possible. Filing quickly will lessen the possibility that the spouses of perpetrators — the ones who had no prior knowledge of the misconduct — will experience great financial loss as a result of their partner’s criminality. As victims of sexual misconduct continue to speak out regarding their own experiences, the pervasive and rampant societal tendency to trade transparency in exchange for power will dissipate. And as that continues, our lawyers are here to help should you find yourself in a situation where a spouse has been accused of sexual misconduct.
