Q: Is adlutry still illegal in Georgia?
My husband cheated on me for 6 years out of the 8 years of our marriage. After he advised me of what he did, he filed for a no contest divorce, not telling his lawyer about his unfaithful actions. Alimony and child support are not included. What do I do?

A: File an Answer and a Counterclaim for Divorce once you are served with the papers. In the Counterclaim, you can mention the adultery and ask the court to award you child support and alimony.

A:
Adultery is still a crime, but it won't have much impact on your case. The behavior is irrelevant to the issue of child support. If the children live with you, he should be paying child support.
