Legal Ramifications for KeyLogger

in Off-Topic
Offered to assist someone off Facebook for malware/driver related issues.
So, when I get the laptop, the wife stated that she thinks her husband messed up the laptop trying to hide things and hide his tracks. (as he won't give her his passwords)
None of this was mentioned originally.
She wants to know while fixing it, is there a way I could get his passwords.
Key Loggers instantly came to mind - as I've used them in my youth.
What are the legal ramifications for putting this on a latptop that they share and directing it to her e-mail? Or should I just direct her to where it can be installed?

Definitely immoral. Source: Common sense.
Even remote-ware with given permissions, in writing, etc will not be enough to give you legal cover. Worse case scenario is that the husband is caught and decides to take you out with him. Never get between husband and wife unless your a cop.
Walk away, friend. Just walk away.
