As upsetting as it may be emotionally, legally the "cheating" is of no consequence, unless it causes one of you to perceive that the marriage is irretrievably broken. If you believe your marriage is irretrievably broken you should file for a dissolution of marriage (divorce). If there are important issues (parenting plan, child support, and property including a home or retirement accounts, or debts) I would encourage you to consult with an attorney.
