First, with the new law, you do not have to prove fault so although you could file under adultery, it is almost irrelevant and does not get you more under equitable distribution anyway. Depending on the length of the marriage will determine the monetary settlement and spousal maintenance. You should immediately set up a consultation with an experienced divorce attorney.

If you would like a free consultation you can call my office at 631-486-7800.
