Q&A: do cheating wives actually get the house and her ex-husbands money after a divorce?
Query by : do cheating wives in fact get the house and her ex-husbands income immediately after a divorce?
In the media, ladies cheat on their husbands, then get the house and all the funds leaving the husband with practically nothing, does this actually come about in true daily life? I think its stupid that the house wife would get every thing even after cheating on her husband.

No, if the wife commits adultry, then by law, she is entitled to nothing. In the cases you see, the husband almost certainly just gives it to her since he even now loves her.

The answer to your question depends upon many variables. Let’s say that one case where your scenario has an exact duplicate making two identical cases, but in different states. Each state has it’s own laws on divorce that can dramatically change the way a case plays out. On top of that, the disposition of the judge towards items such as cheating can also play a role, although the judge is limited to how he handles this based upon the law of his/her particular state. Further, the way each parties attorneys handle the divorce and strategize can play an important factor in how these cases end.
All states are now no-fault option states. This means that although infidelity may have been the cause for the divorce, it does not have to go on the record. Some people opt for this despite the fault option because divorces are public records, and going with the fault option can lead to both parties having very open and embarrasing divorces. Many opt for the no-fault option to avoid this.
However, even in the no-fault option, infidelity can play a role in the cheater possibily not getting the full amount of what they wanted. Again, this depends upon the individual state laws, disposition of the judge and the strategy employed by the attorneys.
A few states have their laws written that those who cheat automatically do not get items such as spousal support/alimony, and it can greatly change the outcome of other items such as possession of the house, etc…

Sometimes yes, if you actually look historically, cheating used to be grounds and considered during divorce proceedings. A study in the 90s proved that women were cheating nearly as much as men, and then suddenly that law was changed. In fact some judges actually punish a man if the wife cheats claiming that any evidence was somehow an invasion of his wife’s privacy. Show me a woman who goes to jail for hacking into husbands email?
