Dear Anonymous:     Although Florida  Statute 61.08(1) says that the court may consider adultery in an alimony determination, as a practical matter, unless the adulterous spouse has "squandered marital assets" on his/her paramour, usually the Courts do not give that issue great weight.  Because there are no real guidelines for alimony in Florida statutes, it is difficult to really determine how much, if any, weight the courts will give this.  Depending on the judge, they may not even want to hear about it.  Nonetheless, since you've gone through the effort it doesn't hurt to try and introduce this, but it would be better if the report indicates he is using marital monies on this woman.   Sorry that I couldn't give you a more positive response.   Best of luck, Cindy S.

If there is no agreement this is an issue for the judge to decide. You need to ensure you ask for "unequal distribution" in the Petition as to equitable distribution.

Depends on how the settlement was structured/ written up. Check with an attorney who has reviewed the document. Controlling case is probably Florida Supreme Court decision in Weisfeld.
