Can I check the hotel records for divorce?

Generally, hotel records will not be checked when suing for divorce, but if one party suing for divorce needs to collect the hotel records of the other party through legal procedures. For example, when divorcing, you can apply to the people's court for opening hotel records, which will be investigated and collected by the people's court. When one party sues for divorce, it is necessary to collect evidence of marital relationship breakdown, and the record of opening a house belongs to personal privacy. The parties have no right to ask the hotel to provide public records, but they can apply to the court to collect evidence, and the court will decide whether to agree or not.

It should be noted that hotel check-in records can be used as indirect evidence of one spouse's extramarital affairs, but the party providing evidence must prove the authenticity and legality of the evidence, and at the same time, it must be combined with other evidence to determine that it has had an extramarital affair with a third party.
