That means that adultery doesn\u2019t always have the impact that people imagine. Your spouse\u2019s adultery doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you\u2019ll \u201cget everything.\u201d Your own adultery doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you\u2019ll lose everything. In fact, there are only few ways in which adultery might be relevant to a divorce case. The courts will want to look at three aspects of the adulterous relationship, and two of them only apply if you have children. If you have children the courts will want to know how much time was spent on the affair. If parenting time took a back seat to spending time with the new lover and did so for a long period of time then the affair could have a detrimental effect on the custody position of the adulterous spouse. It may be relevant if the children have been introduced to the new person in your life, and the amount of contact there has been. The court will also be concerned with whether or not the spouse\u2019s lover has been or would be a bad influence on the children. A lover\u2019s criminal background, history of mental illness or addiction problems could all prove relevant to custody determinations. Your children\u2019s feelings about the lover can also matter a great deal....","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/bgs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Divorce.png"}
