The Times A judge has issued a warning that text messages are the latest weapon in the divorce courts and urged cheating wives or husbands to delete them. Judge Timothy Nash gave the warning during a case at Canterbury Crown Court, Kent, involving a man who attacked his partner after reading text messages that she had received from a lover.
“One of the curses of the mobile phone are these messages and one sees it time and again in the family courts,” Judge Nash said. “Those who receive them do not have the nous to get rid of them and they are a source of constant strife.”
