If my wife divorces me for adultery will she gain any extra rights in the eyes of the Court in regard to cost claims?
My wife is filing for divorce on the grounds of adultery. It would be easy for me to make this true, or I could object. We both want a divorce, although aren't speaking to agree anything. Does she gain any extra rights in the eyes of the Court (especially in regard to cost claims) if I were to agree to the adultery, or is it better for me to object and change it to unreasonable behaviour?
It is unusual for adultery to affect the outcome of ancillary relief proceedings (financial settlement within divorce proceedings) except in extreme circumstances. However if you are co-habiting with a new partner or intending to re-marry this is likely to be a factor which could affect the outcome of financial negotiations.
