Adultery as a Bar to Alimony
A spouse will not be entitled to alimony if it is established that the separation between the spouses was caused by that spouse’s adultery. The adultery committed by that spouse must be proven by a preponderance of the evidence. Adultery is not a bar to alimony in every case. Only when it has been shown that the adultery of one spouse actually led to the separation of the spouses will the adulterous party be denied alimony as a result.
