    Default Infidelity and Divorce

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: My wife of 20 years informed me that she has cheated on me for the last 4 years. she waited for me to get on disability/SSI before she left me and my boys. She later told me of her affairs within our marriage. She was not happy in our marriage and told many people that she was leaving as soon as I got on SSi. I was told that if she filed for divorce that she was responsible for all court costs and attorney fees since I was on disability/SSI. Is that correct? Should I request alimony?

    Please tell us your State. Do you have the boys with you? How old are they? Does Mom work?

    People here are free to give you advice, but based on the info you provided, it would be guesswork.

    I highly recommend that you talk to a family law attorney. If the "boys" are children under 18 and not dogs or something like that, then you should be asking for child support if she does not want custody or is not fit for having custody.
    Alimony is a completely different matter and really is a matter of who has what money and who has been paying for things in the past. It is complicated. You should secure whatever assets you have or you have jointly so she can't spend all the money before the court gets involved, or runs up big debts on credit cards, etc.

    Infidelity is not the big divorce issue to used to be. What she told you and what she says in court could well be two diffeent things. See an attorney now to protect your rights.
