Q: My spouse cheated on me we are currently going through a divorce she did not work our entire relationship. We have 2 kid
Is there a law that says the spouse who was in the wrong can still get child support knowing what they did was wrong. Also my children were involved with the other person. My kids were told to keep him secret from me . He is currently living with her. Is she due child support or can I fight it.
A:
Child support has zero to do with marital infidelity -- it's only about what the kids need to survive, and the primary custodian of the children will get that.
It DOES matter for alimony or spousal support, however, so you can raise an infidelity defense if she's trying to seek that from you.
Best of luck to you.
