Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
our son and his wife are having marital problems. Married since 2008. Problems erupted in November 2012. Wife doesn't want to work, only wants to stay at home and blog on the computer on various Twitter & wordpress.com sites. Our son decided to move out for awhile to see if the situation would change. He lives with us but goes back & forth to his home to be with his little girl after he leaves his job. He made a terrible mistake and confided in us that he went on match.com in January 2013 for whatever his reasons. We told him that was not a wise thing to do. His wife's friend is a single mom and is a member of match.com and alerted his wife that she saw our son's profile. My son admitted to us that no physical contacts were made by him or anyone who responded to him, only email exchanges took place. Wife is very mad and feels he violated the "trust" she had in him. She on the other hand has twittered to a male friend of hers from long ago that she would love to pay him a visit in NYC and bring our grandchild with her. We do not know if her intentions ever materialized.
Question: Can what our son did create further damage to his marital woes? Or are they both guilty of almost the same thing?

Any issues related to children are determined based on the best interests of the children and have nothing to do with the reason for the break up of the parents. As a matter of fact, the reasons that the parents broke up will not determine anything in the divorce proceedings. Marital fault is immaterial in New Jersey divorce proceedings.
