I have recorded my wife's phone calls with her boyfriend. I know I can't use in court. I was just trying to see how far along their relationship is. Can this be used against me if she finds out?

You have committed a crime if you recorded these calls without the knowledge of either person in the State of Nevada. Your wife can't necessarily "use it against you" but certainly can report it and have you charged with a crime (separate crime for each recording).

What you are doing is a felony. I would (a) keep it to yourself that you broke the law, and (b) don't do it anymore.

In Nevada you cannot record a telephone conversation without both parties consent.

Yes, it is possible that your wife could use this against you. Listening in on phone calls to which you are not a party is referred to as wiretapping and is not allowed without a proper criminal warrant. Your wife could also file a civil case against you for invasion of privacy.
