Re: Adultry
This is a no fault state. You're not being singled out for punishment. She will get 1/2 of the community interest in the 401k and ESOP.
Look at it this way: if you had committed the adultery, the court would not give her more than 1/2,to punish you. So if the law is even handed, it does not "side with women at all times".
You might consider marital counseling. I know it's not easy, but if other things in the marriage are good, one mistake might be something the two of you can overcome.
Good luck.
