I recently came across some videos that apparently my husband had been taking of me without my knowledge. They are of me in the bathroom showering, using the toilet and so on. Is this legal? What is your advice on this?

I can't say for you, but for me, I'd be consulting a divorce attorney.
Who wants to remain married to a perverted Pete, peeping Tom, or recording Ricky?
I don't.

Can I Legally Install a Nanny-Cam in My Home?
It is currently legal in every state to make a video-only recording of anything happening at your home, at any time, without informing anyone. The fact that the camera is hidden has no effect on this concept. If your camera is video only (no sound is recorded), then you can do whatever you like with it, in your own home (but be careful about accidentally recording things beyond that, like the street in front of your yard).

Audio recordings are a different story.

While some states have no special laws regarding these either, it is illegal to record someone's voice without their permission in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington State.

The merchant selling the camera will likely be familiar with your state's laws concerning this, so be sure to ask before you buy anything.

Of the 50 states, 38, as well as the District of Columbia, allow you to record a conversation to which you are a party without informing the other parties you are doing so. Federal wiretap statutes also permit this so-called one-party-consent recording of telephone conversations in most circumstances.1

Twelve states forbid the recording of private conversations without the consent of all parties. Those states are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington.2 -

I don't know that running for Family court is answer. That might be a bit hasty. Have you talked to your husband about this? that should be your first move not a Divorce Attorney! Talk to him to resolve your concern then you can decide what next should be done. In mean time here is something that might help as well http://www.parentnook.com/why-marriages-fail-one-writers-opinion/ its about why marriages fail

I suggest you sit down and discuss the issue. He appears to have a perversion he is ashamed of sharing. When one marries, it should not be because it is with someone they want to live their life with. It should be because the person is someone they cannot live their life without.

The question that was asked is if this is legal. I don't know for sure, but I don't see a legal problem with private videos in your home. The fact that he does this without your permission is creepy to say the least, but my best guess is their isn't a legal problem unless he does something with the videos. Hopefully you can get them destroyed and get him to stop.

I have made copies of the videos that I found and they do have video as well as audio on them. I just feel completely violated and wanted to know what my rights were in case this ends up getting nasty.

I have tried to talk to him, but he completely shuts me out. We have started counseling about it, but he is just not getting it. The only positive thing that I can say about the whole thing is that it was only naked videos of me that I came across....if that is a positive thing. I don't think I want to see him in jail or anything like that, I just would like him to stop and understand how it makes me feel.

I hate the feeling I have now in my home. I feel as though I have no privacy and I am constantly looking over my shoulder.

Anyway...thanks everyone for their advice and now I just have to figure out what I am going to do.
