No ! Such evidence is not enough to tip the scales in a wife’s divorce plea based on adultery, although it would have considerable weight and , together with other evidence, help to create a picture of his activities . The rabbinical court will only order a husband to divorce his wife on grounds of adultery if there is overwhelmingly clear and irrefutable evidence of his unfaithfulness.
Certainly it would be useful for you to obtain this list ,particularly if the times
listed were not daytime working hours. You may be well advised to obtain investigative evidence of adultery.
