Is the spousal privilege about to end?

It has been long established in NJ that private communications between spouses are protected and a spouse cannot be compelled to disclose the subject of the communications – even if the subject is illegal activity. A new bill before the NJ legislature may end the privilege in certain circumstances. This could have a huge impact on couples and each spouse should keep this possible law in mind if and when they decide to “open up”.  http://www.njlawjournal.com/home/id=1202670608131?kw=Bill%20Would%20Create%20Crime-Fraud%20Exception%20to%20Spousal%20Privilege&et=editorial&bu=New%20Jersey%20Law%20Journal&cn=20140919&src=EMC-Email&pt=Daily%20News%20Alert&slreturn=20140819090151
