His adulterous behavior may not come to bear in the divorce action itself, due to the "no-fault" state in which you live, but it will probably come to bear in the alimony, and it will DEFINITELY come to bear in the custody. I am in Florida, also a no-fault state, and this is how my attorney described it to me.
Also, if you are not already doing so, be SURE to keep records of the money he is spending on the hotel rooms and anything else that is associated with their affair. Ask your attorney about "dissipation of marital assets" -- I think your husband is on very shaky ground here.
Choc.
H went to see an attorney, a friend of his, who does not specializes in divorce law, and I think told him since we live in FL, a no-fault state, that his affair would have no impact on the divorce. From what you are saying that sounds like maybe he was given not completely correct advice! My attorney specializes in divorce law-I am seeing her tomorrow, so will ask her what you are talking about, and the other questions I have too.
I can't believe a judge won't consider the fact that he is spending 30 hours a week with the OW, and then 10 hours a week calling and texting her when he is deciding custody. That just seems like common sense to me! At some point I am thinking my H is going to figure this out, and I wonder if this will make him more hesitant to divorce as well...perhaps not though, because sometimes I just think he doesn't really care about the kids that much anymore, just the OW at this point. I guess it will boil down to whether he regains his senses (that he used to have!) before the divorce comes through or not. Karen43
