In California we have no fault divorce. The adultery will not effect the division of assets or debts.

Nebraska is a no-fault state. Adultery has no effect. Best wishes.

No. However, if he spent community assets on her, you can ask to be reimbursed for half of what he spent.

Michigan is a no fault divorce state.. so generally adultery has little, if any, effect on a divorce. It might affect a property settlement slightly.

Almost never. In the 1970's, Wisconsin and many other states created a 'no-fault' system for divorce, where he only ground for divorce is that the marriage is irretrievably broke. Translation: one spouse wants a divorce. Find an experienced matrimonial lawyer and go from there. Good Luck.

Adultery is a factor to be considered but there is no award for the victim of adultery. If Family Assets were spent on the paramour you could recover 50%, for example the Husband supplies an apartment to the paramour.
