Re: support
If you can prove that your spouse committed adultery, then she will most likely be barred from receiving any alimony. There are some exceptions, but that is the general rule.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
