Re: If Its Adultery How Much Alimony?
Yes, in Virginia, being found responsible for a fault ground in a divorce proceeding, could
result in an increase in the amount as well as the
duration of an alimony award over what otherwise would have been granted.
The operative word is could, meaning the nature of the alleged fault ground as well as other variables in the case such as the court in which the action was filed,, taken together, could determine the final outcome on this particular issue, but, obviously, there's no way to predict
this with any certainty.
