I did not catch my wife in bed with my brother in law but I did find cards with terms of endearment written all over them. I also found seperate cell phone bills with nothing but his cell # on it. She was using my credit cards to pay these bills over the phone. I confronted her on this and cut her off from my money. I am the sole provider (three kids, two under age ten). I earn about $120,000 a year. She has since then maxed out her cards,applied for more, and overdrawn her personal ckg acct. She does not want to work outside the home, but she is nearing the end of her financial rope. Her parents and sister do not speak with her anymore for obvoius reasons. I want to provide for my kids but she repulses me. Is this going to have any effect on custody or alimony issues. I live in Arizona. Please help>

The link below will show you that Arizona is a no-fault divorce state.
This means that the only grounds for divorce is irreconcilable differences, and that adultery evidence is not admissible in court.
Consult a lawyer for sure, whatever you do...and save the evidence, should you decide to sue for custody.
Basically, the court doesn't want to hear adultery evidence, but it certainly might be used to fight off paying alimony, and it might be useful to show irresponsible behavior in a custody suit.

Actually most states the judge will not care about the adultery. It usually does not affect custody or alimony. Consult your attorney for the laws in your state but most likely you will be paying her alimony.

an attorney would be able to give you the lo down on state laws for Arizona.
most Judges frown upon the person who had an affair. and if it can be proven, then she'll likely come out of it without custody or alimony or much of anything, except what you might be willing to offer to her...
take care...

Custody - no. Not in Delaware anyway. Alimony - perhaps.

you need to look up the divorce laws in that state, it also depends on how long you been married. in the state i live in, you dont have to pay alamony if you have been married under ten years type in arizona divorce in your search box, youll find some info on laws in that state, thats what i did

umm in my divorce we just said irreconcilable differences and that was that. didnt even bring that up. and i know other people that the only reason it was brought up is the "jilted" spouse would get mad in court and start yelling crap about it.
but i dont think it effects anything if your in a no fault state.
