Re: divorce
I can only answer if you plan to divorce in WA. I'm not licensed in NC.
NC may very well be a fault jurisdiction. I don't know, but in WA, divorce is 'no-fault'. That means you allege the marriage is irretrievably broken, and no more.
The Court does not inquire further.
Cheating is not a basis for more money or any other relief, just that the marriage is broken.
Hope that helps. Elizabeth Powell
