Hello,
The divorce is a distince and separate issue from the property (disposition of the house) and is governed by La. R.S. 9:2801 et seq. Generally speaking, in Louisiana, absent a prenup agreement, she will get 1/2 the value of any equity (if any). The cheating only comes in as an important point with regard to determining fault and whether or not spousal support gets awarded.
