Divorce After a Marital Affair

There are a variety of reasons that may lead to a divorce. One of the many reasons that lead to a divorce is an affair. At LLM Family Law, our team knows and understands just how contentious a divorce can be that was due to an affair. It is no secret that emotions can run extremely highly, resulting in a lot of anger, sadness, anxiety, and many other negative feelings and hardships.

Our team of Los Angeles divorce attorneys also realize that making informed decisions surrounding your divorce is inevitably overwhelming. Navigating a divorce after a marital affair is never easy and our team is here to help ensure that your rights and best interests are protected.

It is important to note that not every couple decides to get a divorce after an affair. Some couples choose to work through the emotional, psychological, and physical problems that got them to that point or they may choose to seek marital counseling. Whatever a couple decides to do after another spouse has had an affair is entirely up to them and a personal decision.

On the other hand, if you or your spouse choose not to reconcile or simply aren’t able to, then divorce is an option. It is important to speak with a trusted divorce attorney in Los Angeles to learn your options. While some couples go through with divorce in court, there are many couples who decide to go through mediation. Generally, dissolving a marriage through private mediation is a faster and less expensive alternative to going to court. Whichever route you choose, whether it is mediation or going to trial, our team is here to help. 

When an affair is involved, it is not uncommon for the spouse who was cheated on to seek revenge in a divorce. When this happens, it is difficult for the spouses to dissolve the marriage amicably, such as in private talks, negotiations with attorneys, or mediation. In this case, going to court will be necessary. If this applies to you, our team has years of trial experience representing clients in contentious divorce proceedings.
