Shouldn’t My Spouse Continue To Support Me Indefinitely In Queens If They Committed Adultery And Ruined Our Marriage?

February 16, 2015 by Marc Jacob

As a moral issue, there may be merit to the idea that a spouse who destroyed a marriage with infidelity should pay a long term financial price for their misconduct, but as a legal matter, courts no longer use divorce to punish a spouse that way for adultery.

Whether you are entitled to permanent maintenance (also called alimony) is decided based on a number of factors, including your potential earning power at the end of the marriage, your health status, both spouses’ incomes, and the length of the marriage.

In general, the presumption of the court is that the lower earning spouse should have the opportunity to become self-supporting.
