I think these type laws would be a good way to scare off an OP which would aid in the marriage staying in tact.
What I would like to see more often is, if a spouse commits infidelity, there should be NO spousal support. In a lot of states, including mine, adultery has no bearing on spousal support.
So my W can have an affair with OM, divorce me, take half my retirement and half my 401k, a large percentage of my wages and then continue her A and as long as she doesn't move in with OM or marry him, I'm stuck paying spousal support for x number of years.
And that I have a problem with.
