When you come in for a consultation to my office, I’m going to take you through a series of questions. I do it for two purposes, one because I need this information. Secondly, you’ll see that the information that I ask is predominantly geared towards your finances, your assets, the income, the liabilities. The fact that your spouse may have cheated on you is largely irrelevant to your divorce. I hesitate because I’d like that to sink in. It’s important only when it has some bearing on custody, meaning the person that your spouse is having an affair with has a drug problem or they have some criminal background. For the most part, that is a distraction that increases the costs of litigation unnecessarily. I try to teach people that this is an issue that they have to overcome emotionally in order to focus on the real and important issues of their divorce.
