Are You Ready to Divorce Your Cheating Spouse?

Posted By Lois M. Brenner, Esq. || 12-Apr-2021

Even though things are getting better, we are still battling the coronavirus. During the last year, I received many calls from spouses who discovered their spouses were cheating during the pandemic. Even with a medical crisis, cheating spouses did not slow down!

I recently received a call from a woman who had just discovered her husband was having multiple affairs over the last 7 months. She was shocked, scared, and desperate to protect herself and her family.

She suspected her husband was spending too much time with his so called “coworkers.”. He would disappear into the other room for hours at a time in the evening. He was spending less time with her and their three children.

She decided to read his emails, look at some of his texts, and check his social media platforms. She saw interactions with two women in particular that were not work related and the conversations quite suggestive. She confronted him and he admitted what he had done. He also begged her not to break up the family.

She was really angry and reached out to a few friends. Her childhood friend had read some of my blog postings about cheating and suggested she give me a call.

She was very hurt, sad, and still loved her husband and wanted to keep their family together. She was having a very hard time processing everything, especially with the health crisis going on.

She was really taken back by her husband’s behavior and shocked her husband would do this. First, we discussed the divorce laws in New York and how they applied to their property, assets, and spousal and child support. I explained the likely outcome and what she would be entitled to in a divorce.

We further discussed all her options: do nothing right now, try couples counseling and therapy, consider a separation, or get a divorce. None of these felt right to her.

Then I mentioned the possibility of preparing a postnuptial agreement. This would allow her to remain married at least for the time being. It would provide her the opportunity to plan for a divorce in the future, while securing a good potential settlement while continuing to be married.

She was surprised and pleased that she had this option. This is a tool I suggest and use for many couples who find themselves in this unfortunate position.

A postnuptial agreement prevents couples from making a hasty decision before they have had time to consider their options. It provides peace of mind and time for emotions to calm so important life decisions can be made.

A postnuptial agreement, in the case of this client, will provide her with financial protection if a divorce does occur. In addition, we will build into her agreement, per her request, consequences, if future infidelity does occur in their marriage.

No two postnuptial agreements are alike. Postnuptial agreements are tailored to meet the individual needs of every couple.

We did draft a postnuptial agreement, and her husband, who promised not to cheat anymore, signed it.

For now things seem to have settled down and they are working on their marriage!

As a divorce attorney and mediator for over 35 years, I have drafted many postnuptial agreements. If you find yourself in a similar predicament, I can help you craft a postnuptial agreement to both protect yourself and give you the time to save your marriage or consider your divorce alternatives.

Our FREE I HOUR CONSULTATIONS are discreetly and conveniently conducted virtually to reduce risk!

We still have some appointments available for this week.

I look forward to helping you.

Stay healthy and safe!

Warm regards,
Lois
