LEO: Divorce - Destruction of Telephone  LE Op. 839

 

Divorce - Destruction of Telephone Bills.

 

October 9, 1986

 

It is not improper for an attorney representing the wife in a divorce

action to advise the wife to destroy phone bills which indicate she had

placed calls to another man in whom she became interested four months

after separating from her husband. The wife was under no obligation to

produce or provide the telephone bills. [ EC:7-24]
