How does infidelity impact the divorce process?
California is a no-fault divorce state, so infidelity really is a non-issue and the courts don’t want to hear it. In theory, infidelity could be a slight issue if you are divorcing and have children, and you happen to be having your little fling at home, and the children see your infidelity and they’re damaged and traumatized. But that’s not usually the case. Usually, the case is a spouse is angry because their spouse broke the vow of fidelity. And then we get all these issues that are based in anger instead of based in reason. California says it’s a non-issue. Infidelity hurts. I know it hurts a lot, but it’s not going to get you anywhere in court by playing that card.
