A: Under Alabama law, you probably condoned the adultery by having sex with him after you knew about it. Besides, a mere episode of sex with another person - alone - will not support a ground for divorce of adultery. Other than that, you are entitled to your share of the divisible marital property. If this is an alimony case depends on your needs and income vs. his needs and income. If he made considerably more money than you do, then he may well be ordered to pay support to you. These things are all driven by the facts. You need to consult an attorney who is familiar with divorces in the County in which you live.
