Most people are surprised to learn that if one spouse is cheating the divorce judge may not even permit that evidence during the trial. Florida, along with many other states is a "no fault" divorce state. There is no need to prove that a spouse has cheated to be entitled to a divorce. Judges are not interested to hear who was a good or bad husband/wife. Our laws treat the break-up of a marriage much like dissolution of a business partnership. The property and debts are fairly divided, other obligations allocated between the parties and they go their separate ways.
If there is a financial impact to the marriage because of the cheating, the court could allow that evidence so it can determine how to compensate the other spouse. For example, if one spouse spent money supporting a girlfriend/boyfriend, paid rent, purchased cars and/or other gifts, paid for expensive vacations and the like the court will take that into account. Sometimes that type of conduct has gone on for years undetected and once discovered can have a significant impact on the case.
While the divorce case is progressing the discovery of such matters can be very emotionally upsetting. Frequently the judge is asked to rule on whether or not certain questions can be asked and other avenues of inquiry pursued. Sometimes the third parties involved even retain their own lawyers.
There are other forms of marital misconduct. For example, a spouse could have a long term plan to divorce in the future and over the course of several years conspire with family members by transferring money or other assets to them to hold until the divorce is over. This is called dissipating marital assets.
Assets may also be dissipated by excessive gambling or substance abuse. If that is discovered during the divorce case, in extreme cases, those third-parties can be named as parties in the divorce and may have to answer to the judge. This sometimes happens with business partners, who think they are doing their partner a favor, help their partner cheat their spouse. This raises the level of complexity of the case making it all the more important to be vigorously represented by a proficient expert in family law.
past due alimony payments
My former spouse is behind in alimony payments by $1,500.00 and, although he sends alimony every month, it is constantly late. I have severe cardiac problems and need this money to survive. I would like to have his wages garnished as he can more than afford to make the payments in full and on time. He is currently earning over $550.00 per day.
Judgement
I have a bill in collections for 13,000.00. I have offered to make payments of 200.00 per month but the company has said no, they will take no less than $1500.00 per mo! Will they be able to get a judgement against me even though I want to make payments? Will it make a difference if I just mail them in $200.00? would they not be able to get a judgement then? and also if they try to get a judgement can I go to court (i do not have an attorney) and let the judge know that I want to make payments? and will that stop the judgement? I want to buy a house and am afraid I wont be able to with a judgement...Do I have any protection since this bill accrued from having financial problems from my husband being called to Iraq?
