Asked on Jan 31st, 2013 on Divorce - New York
More details to this question:
They have denied it, but I have love letters, His ID badges she carried with her and hotel confirmation sheets to prove it. She filed for divorce and now my lawyer is telling me it could hurt my case if I were to help get her fired. Is it true? How can she have an affair and it has no bearing on my case, but I could get her fired and it could affect my outcome?

The reason why it may only hurt your case, is that if your wife were to lose her job before the divorce is final, you could be liable for alimony due to her decreased income. You have to understand that the fact that your wife was involved in an affair does not necessarily impact any sort of ancillary matters such as dividing the assets between the parties. The grounds for your divorce have very little bearing on how the financial matters of your case is handled by the Judge.
