Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Adultery
My spose cheated on me for 3 years during the marriage. I don't have definite proof of this just an immediate girlfriend, who moved into a new house closed on 2 months after he left. People don't think the judge will care. I think it goes to show the persons character, deceit and manipulation that was going on for a long time. How would you handle this during deposition and trial.

Re: Adultery
In addition to what the other attorneys said, are you sure this is going to trial? 98% of divorces don't.
Re: Adultery
The court regards his misconduct merely as the reason for the divorce. Financial issues are not determined on the basis of misconduct. Unless he
acted in an abusive manner towards your children, what he did away from them is not relevant to visitation and custody.
Re: Adultery
The cause of action for divorce (adultery or otherwise) has no impact on any decision made in the divorce proceedings regarding custody, parenting time, equitable distribution or any other issue.
Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have
provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one
can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice
because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not
already done so, you should immediately meet with a Family Law attorney for a full consultation
before you take any further steps. You may feel free to call me to discuss this matter in more
detail. If you do so, mention Law Guru and your first one hour of time will be free. Good luck!
