Friend has been monogamous to spouse for over a decade and has learned in the past few weeks that spouse is “in love” with co-worker but also cheating with at least another and infidelity with at least a coup,e others have been going on during most if not all of marriage.
NP here but FFS why are you insulting PPs?? Your OP was not clear, and you didn’t include this clarifying information. I was wondering the same thing when you mentioned that other spouses needed to know. That was very confusing and unclear so this is on you. It sounds like your friend has legal counsel and has a plan.

Yeah agree. It’s akin to a cheated on spouse (most often the DW) taking the cheating spouse to court (most often the DH) and fleecing them for everything in order to punish them. The reality is that the kids get to feel the impact

You’re just going to have to take your medicine, PP.

Has selected moment when cheater is about to leave for critical work trip for presentation of papers. Friend feels they need the confrontation after the hell spouse has put them through. Also feels other spouses (yes plural - it’s a mess) need to know. Any advice? I feel like they should make appointment with therapist. Any other advice?
My advice is for you to talk to a psychologist asap.

I had to make this choice - serve before a business trip or after. It was in my interest that my DH disn’t lose his job, so I kept my cool and told him when he came back. I felt comfortable because due to circumstances I had leverage to make him leave the house quickly.
I fantasized a lot about moving out or moving him out while he was gone, but didn’t have the guts to do either.

It seems spiteful to blindly serve divorce papers prior to an out of town business trip. Especially if this business trip is high stress.
It seems you’re starting the divorce process from a petty standpoint of inflicting maximum hurt/damage. I know you’re hurting.
I’d recommend getting the kids away and having a frank discussion in person. You always have the option of scorch the earth. Don’t start there.

Sure. OP and "friend" are a blurry distinction. Even if you buy your line of reasoning, why is OP this involved in minutiae like when papers are served and who exactly the stbx was sleeping with? OP has an agenda.
