Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
Marital settlement
I and the mother of our children have recently divorced. Upcoming is the marital property settlement. I do understand that Indiana is considered a no-fault state, however can I use my ex-wifes infidelity as leverage for the property settlement. I have a recorded telephone conversation that proves my allegation.

Re: Marital settlement
The telephone call, by itself is not leverage. However, if you can prove that your ex spent maritial funds in advancing her adulterous acts, you might be able to obtain a higher perscentage of a property settlement. For example, if she gave her lover gifts, or paid for hotels, meals, transportation etc., that would be considered waste and you could use that as leverage.
