Lot's and Lot's of Drama. The ex wife will turn the kid against the father. That's a given fact in 98% of divorce cases. He'll have to pay child support more than likely pay health insurance and then pay for the house if it still has a mortgage and the wife don't work.
But, just because their are kids involved no reason for him to stay in a marriage and put up with the emotional misery of listening to the old ball and chain complain everyday.
By the way, nothing was mentioned about him cheating. There are men who don't cheat in a marriage but get so fed up with things they just leave the marriage and divorce.

people divorce all the time. consult a lawyer, make sure it's not a passing fancy and you are indeed willing to go through a divorce which is a long and expensive process. Kids adjust sooner or later, such is life, just because you are divorcing his mother doesn't mean you stop being his father. Staying together just for the sake of the kids never works. It's misery for all. Depending on your assets. income marital property and if your wife works, custody issues. you will probably be ordered to pay child support and alimony and she gets half of marital assets. It's going to be a long road, but you only live once and if you do not neglect your child or your responsibilities it will work out, good luck.

you will likely still be held responsible for familly expenses, you'll loose at least half of everything you own to your wife, and the lawyers will have a feild day with the rest. Your teenager could develope into a life long problem that you can't conveniently devorce. Unless you are unbeleivably wealthy, Do you think it fair to offer your " other woman" a severely financially handycapped partner???? You also can forget about retirement.

The fist 3 answers here are very accurate.First you can expect to have a kid with resentment issues,trust and relationship problems.Top it off with a very bad leas son being taught to him.Now to the wife,she is going to be left holding the bag after all these years.She is going to have to start over possibly having to settle for a less than normal life style.After you divorce her and you realize that your mid-life crisis is just a passing fancy.What now?To late to go back everything is now screwed up.

Sounds like he will have an angry 13 year old and he's teaching the child that it's an okay thing for dad to cheat. Hope this guy gets stuck with lots of alimony and child support and hope that the other woman grows to hate sex with him. Oh yes, and hopefully some day he will wake up from his midlife crisis and see what a mess he's made of his life.

You face your 13 year old being messed up for life. Your child will forever view relationships as something temporary. That a person you saw as loving and dependable can just up and run at any point. That's a very delicate age. Get past your own personal selfish needs and give that child a few more years to develop their personal sense of self before you crush it. You're responsible for that human being and how they turn out.

At fifty, he is still acting like a young boy who wants to be adored and being pampered. I don't think he could face the realtiy of being an adult since he can not do the job of being a responsible fatherhood.

It would be odd if the 13 yr. old did not stay with the ex-wife...
The 13 yr. old will probably adjust to the divorce just fine.
