While adultery by one spouse does not, by itself, have any effect on how the court will rule on equitable distribution in divorce, the court may consider the financial ramification of a spouse’s infidelity when deciding equitable distribution. For example, if the court finds that the unfaithful spouse spent an excessive amount of money that was marital property on their adulterous affair, the court may adjust the equitable distribution award to reflect the waste of marital assets.
