Hello there, I am very suspicious that my wife is cheating on me. Just want to know if snooping on her is legal under family law in Melbourne?

Thank you.

"Snooping", as in checking her e-mails, phone, etc?

Yes, it is illegal - it's considered a form of stalking, which is a crime under section 21A of the Crimes Act 1958.

Hope this helps.
