Hi Stronger. The cost of the lawyer(s) is absolutely a factor. He must have said 5 times that he doesn't have the money for his lawyer. Neither do I, but its worth it to me! (and yes, my atty did ask for lawyers fees). I didn't claim misconduct, but one of the documents that his lawyer sent me (a huge disclosure form that had to be 30 pages) asked questions about misconduct, so it's possible that it will come up through the process. He knows that, and has said on numerous occasions that I couldn't prove it. I guess he'd have to decide if he wants to lie on his disclosure and in court. He's also technically still married to me, and living with her, so I guess still committing adultery as we speak?

Burt, according to him, the affair started right after he told me that he wanted out of the marriage (late may). (so according to him, he did nothing wrong until he told me it was over.. yeah right!).. I know it was at least an EA for many months before that (probably a PA then too). He was away for the entire month of April for the military, and he told me that he missed her more than he missed me while he was gone, and thats how he knew it was over.
