How Adultery Impacts Spousal Support and Property Division
In Virginia, adultery is more than an emotional betrayal; it can have serious financial consequences. A spouse who commits adultery is typically barred from receiving spousal support unless denying support would result in a manifest injustice. While property is divided through equitable distribution, cheating can still influence the outcome, especially if marital funds were used to support the affair. In short, infidelity can cost more than trust; it can cost you financially.
