[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the only reason you want a divorce is that you think she is cheating?  Makes sense that you would be sure of that before you discuss splitting up. [/quote]

yes we have a good marriage, no major arguments, some sex, etc but if she has cheated, no matter what she says/does to repent there will only be a divorce from my end immediately. i just want to know if its worth getting PI to document any illicit affair .. or do courts not give a shit and split assets 50/50 anyway? [/quote]

Courts don't care.  No fault divorce.  She's getting the money regardless, just like she would if you were the one cheating.  Maybe spend your energy trying to figure out what's really going on rather than trying to cheat her out of money that is also rightfully hers. (hence the cheating being irrelevant)[/quote]

is cheating a no fault divorce? if adultery is proven? hence my question..[/quote]

What state are you  in? First off, she is still getting 50/50 in assets in a divorce regardless in most states. If you want to file for adultery in VA, you can, and it can be hard to prove. But the only thing this does is 2 things: 1) run up your attorney fees to divorce sky high and 2) it could prevent her from getting alimony if proven. Most people do not get alimony but you make enough that she might.

You should consult an attorney before doing anything, including getting a PI. She is still getting 50/50 assets in a divorce regardless.[/quote]

They have an 8 figure net worth. 
Call it 10M.

Even if total lawyer fees are $200k that’s still only 2% of their net worth.

This is why it is worth it for rich people to use aggressive lawyers in a divorce.  Yes the legal system is stacked for the rich.[/quote]

Fighting is unlikely to get either of them more than 50% of assets.[/quote]

My lawyer (not a cheap lawyer) says DC courts never see people with 10mm net worth in DC court in front of a judge. They value their assets and money. Create trusts for kids, settle etc. Only poor stupid people fight over $5K spent in 5 years on jewelry for a mistress
