Board Certified Family Law Specialist Matt Arnold answers the question: “Does adultery affect my divorce case?”
The act of adultery of one or both spouses is one of the biggest reasons that couples get divorced. North Carolina is a no-fault state in regards to divorce. This means that the spouse who files for divorce is not required to prove that the other spouse is at fault for the divorce.
