Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Divorce based on Adultery

I asked my wife for a divorce and agreed to split all our assets 50/50. I just got a letter stating she does not want a no-fault divorce but wants to take me to court charging adultery. How will this affect our assets? Will she be entitled to take everything we own because I was unfaithful?
