Hi. I'm a stay-at-home Dad at the early stage of what's shaping up to be a high-conflict divorce. Last night I found a keylogger had been installed on my computer. I asked my ex about it. She denied installing it, but I had a hunch she was lying. She was looking very nervous and weird. She is not tech-savvy but she seemed to understand what I meant by the word keylogger. She didn't ask for that to be clarified.
In the past, she has exhibited many instances of snooping, stalking and harassment as well as the full smorgasbord of abuse, so I'm pretty sure it was her. Obviously, she has a motive too. I couldn't find any Australian-specific entries on Dr Google to indicate whether installing spyware on a spouse's computer is illegal.
So my question is, is it illegal? And what should I do? I don't have a lawyer yet. We have just started mediation. Thanks.
