Will an Extramarital Affair Have an Impact on My Divorce?
September 8, 2023 – Ellen L. Lee
The facts of the case will determine the extent to which an extramarital affair will affect the distribution of property. It is relevant, for example, whether marital assets were squandered on the affair. An affair also can affect the court’s decisions about child custody. When an affair is involved, we work diligently with our clients to make sure the child custody arrangements protect the child’s physical and psychological well-being.
