Re: divorce

After a spouse finds out about an adultery, the offense is considered condoned if they continue to live together in a marital relationship. Once condoned, the offense cannot justify a divorce unless it is part of a course of such conduct over time.

As to division of marital property, each spouse is entitled to an equitable share of the marital estate. This takes into consideration the direct and indirect contributions of each towards accumulation of the estate.

The spouse entitled to a divorce may also be entitled to periodic and lump sum alimony depending on her needs and the equities.

The son is entitled to parental support towards a batchelor's degree as long as he remains a full-time enrolled student and he has love and affection for the supporting parent.
