Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

If my wife has admitted to committing adultery in 3 different counties in the state of Mississippi which by criminal code (97-29-1) is a crime. Will that allow or help me get custody of my kids. She is 37 he is 21. She admitted to me that during oral sex he was unable to climax due to his self masturbation daily while watching porn. If we end up with a divorce she intends to have him around our kids. I have a daughter who is almost 15 I fear for her safety. I also have concerns about my wife's ability to make decision that are in the best mental health stability of our kids?

Child custody decisions are handled by the Albright factors that boil down to the best interest of the child. Moral fitness of the parent is one factor. The criminal aspect of adultery is a non starter. It is unenforceable.

You need to consult with an attorney that practices in Domestic relations to move forward with a divorce and custody action. Myself and many others on this site practice in that area
