Q: My wife has constantly cheated the last 4 + years now she wants divorce. I’m on disability what options do I have
She had me move my mom in the house almost a year ago, now she’s trying to take the house and my mom and me have no where to go. Because of her infidelities I’m mentally emotional because of her and her cheating
A:
Generally, your wife's cheating is not admissible in evidence in a divorce case. Oregon is a no fault divorce state, which means you cannot introduce evidence of fault to prove the reason for getting divorced. Your wife's cheating may be admissible if there is an adverse economic consequence that is caused by the cheating (for example, there is a large credit card debt because of lavish outings with another person).
I recommend you consult with an attorney to determine your options, and how best to proceed.
