WILL INFIDELITY AFFECT A DIVORCE?

QUESTION: I am a marriage counselor and I have several clients asking this question:

"Will the fact that infidelity took place in my marriage [on my part (one incident)] be grounds for losing my house or affect child custody in a divorce proceeding?"

MY ANSWER: No. California has no fault divorce. Infidelity of a spouse will not affect property division or child custody rights in a divorce.

The consequences of infidelity are devastating and hard to recover from. However, given that it is so prevalent in our society should couples be heading straight for divorce court if they are faced with it. Infidelity is one of the common reasons why married couples want divorce.

Infidelity most impacts divorce in the settlement process. Hardly ever does infidelity fail to generate a powerful, adverse psychological reaction from the wronged partner.
