Best Answer

First, "cheating" is not a legal term. It is slang that refers to a married person being unfaithful to their legal spouse or partner. A legal separation is not a legal divorce. Having an intimate relationship with someone other than your legal spouse is adultery. If you wish to do that legally you should get a divorce.

If you're merely separated, you're still legally married, so if you have sexual relations, it's most likely to be considered adultery.

What does lost in a sleep of negligence mean?

The phrase seems to be lost through sheer negligence rather than lost in a sleep of negligence. Something being lost due to sheer negligence is when something is lost or misplaced on account of someone now remembering or taking care to place the item where needed in order to access it.


The abuse of what kind of drug could cause a person to sleep a lot?

Heroin, or any kind of opiate. Opiates are vicodin, oxycontin, methadone, morphine, and so on. Marijuana can cause fatigue. If one uses cocaine, speed, or any "upper" and stays up for days at a time, it can take days of sleep to recuperate. The older you are, the longer it takes to bounce back. If you are worried about someone sleeping a lot, you should get them to have a thorough physical exam because there are many physical problems that cause us to need a lot of sleep.

Is it against the law to keep someone from talking to another?

That really depends upon the circumstances. Let us say that you have a roomful of people who are taking a test, and you do not want people to talk to other people in the room to get the answers to the test; that is a normal and legal precaution so that the test results will be meaningful. Parents can tell their children to stop talking and go to sleep. Perfectly legal. Courts sometimes actually issue orders for someone to stop talking to, or following, or otherwise bothering some person, such as an ex-wife. But there could also be circumstances in which someone illegally interferes with another persons right to talk. You have to think about the ways in which you can prevent someone from talking. If you cut out their tongue, that is assault. If you lock them in your basement, that is false imprisonment. If you shout them down, that is just impolite. So it depends.
