There are multiple factors that are considered by the court when awarding alimony and relative fault for the dissolution of the marriage is one that a court can use. Therefore, infidelity would be considered. More importantly, however, is earning capacity, duration of marriage, contributions to the marriage (tangible and intangible), distribution of the marital assets, and standard of living. As for health insurance, that can be asked for and might be awarded. It all depends on the circumstances and the court.
