    that’s the opposite of the point of these laws. the entire point of this and no fault divorce is that the state shouldn’t dictate relationships. how are you going to adjudicate cheating anyway?

      How?

      If person a is shown to have been cheating then person a loses any claim to alimony.

      Pretty simple.

      Person A in divorce court “judge I want alimony”

      Person B in divorce court “your honor Person A was cheating here’s the proof”

      Judge “ no alimony will be awarded from Person B to Person A”

      Why should anyone be allowed to get alimony after cheating? That’s just insult to injury.

      Your spouse cheats you walk in on it and now you want a divorce. Added bonus you have to pay money to the cheater for life???

      How does that make sense?

      It should literally be law that the alimony goes away at that point.

        Yeah indentured servitude as punishment for being victim of a cheater. That’s just pure injustice and the state shouldn’t be enforcing that.

          Here’s something nuts . I have three down votes and six up votes. Think about that. There is a solid percentage of people that think I’m wrong in saying what I said.
