If I file for divorce because of my husbands drug use, will I be entitled to anything if he proves I had the opportunity to commit adultery?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Daniela Kristabell McCalla (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Groth, Makarenko, Kaiser Eidex, LLC
Generally, a spouse isn't entitled to alimony if it's established through presentation of evidence that the separation is due to the spouse's adultery. The bar to receiving alimony only applies if it is shown that the act of adultery was the direct cause of the separation between the two parties. A person commits adultery when he or she has sexual intercourse with a person other than his or her spouse. In your question you said that you had an opportunity to commit adultery.  The next question is whether you actually committed the act.  And if that act was committed, did that act cause the separation? Keep in mind that when determining whether to award alimony, the court will consider the conduct of both parties.

How to go about/handle this situation?

Stephanie Elizabeth Emanuel
Answered by attorney Stephanie Elizabeth Emanuel (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Stephanie E. Emanuel, Esq.
Greetings, and thank you for your question. You have to understand that lawyers are paid by the hour and the retainer (agreement) has or should have a clause where it states, that the attorney is charged, $X amount for his services, (flat or by the hour) when the retainer is exhausted, the client will be responsible for paying owed balance, or the attorney will charge interest. Sometimes, depending on clients, we as attorneys, when we are not getting paid or we judge the client financial situation is not equipped to handle the balance owed or the expected balance, we either don't take the case and or we simply withdraw from it. Your former attorney feels that the case used up the retainer, and for any further services, you will need to either deposit a new retainer amount or retain on flat-fee services. I believe his $1,500 will cover up to 2 court appearances and the contempt motion.   What can be done now, is to assess the performance of your attorney. If you like how he worked than retain him again. If you are not happy with his performance, and yes, many attorneys purposely drag out a case to continue billing. Assess your financial situation, if you are able to retain an attorney, then please shop around, and you can start with calling my office to discuss our rates. Every attorney is different. Some charge just for charging sake and some are aggressive and results orientated like us, where our performance is justification for our prices. We do have payment plans options for people with good credit and stable income. Feel free to contact my office and speak with my case manager at 877-866-8665 to discuss in more details regarding your case. Thank you.

Is a wife entitled to alimony if she makes more than her husband?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
Alimony depends on a number of factors and can be awarded to either party. See an attorney. Generally the person with the higher income is the payor so be careful.
