How old is your H? The age factor could have more to do with getting a new job than anything, even though it is strictly illegal to base hiring practice on age. There are certain question that are illegal for a prospective employer to ask, age being one. The ONLY information a prior employer is allowed to divulge about an ex-employee is their name, dates of employment and last position held. It is illegal for a company to say why a person was let go. So as MrsNop says, the affair should not have any bearing whatsoever on the interview unless your husband volunteers the information.
