Adultery is defined as a married person having sexual relations with a person not their spouse.
Most courts do not approve of married persons with children cohabitating with another person during divorce. It is a factor which is considered in determining custody.

Re: adultery
The simple answer to your question would be no. But again, so much depends on all of the facts that are involved and what the children are exposed to. The custody of children is a very complicated issue which needs to be handled through the courts.
