Is infidelity considered in dividing assets?
|
|
Even though my husband made me sign a prenuptial agreement before we married/he did his grocery shopping and I did mine. We were married for 9 years and He did not sleep with me for 3 yrs before I had an affair. I left him for 4 months after I left town to find work b/c due to health reasons, I lost my job and I found it difficult to find another one. My husband was placing a lot of pressure on me to find a job and to supply us insurance. My children lived out of town and I found a job while visiting with them. I met my employer and we fell in love. After 4 months my husband promised me that he would do many things differently. He tore up the prenuptial and bought me a nice car in which he paid cash for. But he has stalked me for the past 2 1/2 years and I cannot stand the pressure any more of how he is treating me. I went back to him b/c I felt that it was the right thing to do. My boyfriend is sweet and loving and wants me back. I have decided to go back to him. I have been married to my husband for 12 years, will it make any difference in getting a fair settlement if there is any knowledge prior to the divorce that I have gone back to my boyfriend? I have filed the divorce already.

In some areas, I've seen where you lose half of your half (a 25/75 split); in others it means nothing at all. Only an attorney can tell you the prevailing attitude in your area. I also see many give up everything just to get away. As for tearing up the prenuptual, it means nothing. It would have to go through a court to get it legally chaged. He just has to get another copy. Unless you can prove the new car is yours (being in your name means nothing), the value will be split.

I'd assume your husband's attorney has the original prenup and that he tore up a copy .
