Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
Filing for Adultery
My husband has committed adultery and I can prove it. I would like to know why is it more complicated to divorce under those grounds. I also am looking for half of his retirement plan we were married for 10 years, is this unreasonable?

Re: Filing for Adultery
Filing for a divorce on grounds of adultery is
not complicated, the grounds are just
ignored because adultery is so commonplace.
I know of one lawyer who filed the first adultery
complaint in 100 years. He was successful
because the adulterous husband was
famous and wanted to settle so the news
would not get out.
Call and I'll steer you to my friend.

The courts don't like lurid actions when there can be a simple no fault divorce. As to property division, retirement accounts are included in the consideration. However, there is no automatic 50% division.
