"together" only matters in your head, not in court. What matters in court, for the purposes of them deciding whether or not she deserves alimony, for example, is the number of years actually MARRIED.

But you had a tough situation and I'm glad it worked. Tell me, did your lawyer say a word about what I suggested (how she was taking your support and allowing her parramour to live rent-free off your back?) or was it enough to simply have the photos & proof of her infidelity? If so, it would be the first time I'd heard of straight infidelity being used to terminate alimony... since decades ago. Usually it has to be infidelity PLUS something. So I'm very curious!
