In equal numbers, prospective clients come to me either excited about a perceived ace-in-the-hole because of the other spouse’s adultery, or worried about his or her own adultery. Neither attitude is warranted. The Courts couldn't care less about anyone’s adultery. Half the divorces they see involve adultery. In fact, raising the issue invariably backfires, making the accuser appear obsessive and jealous.
