[longtermmemmory]

Having represented people in divorce court, I would stongly support a penalty for infidelity in divorce. (There is however a case that says withholding sex is arguably abuse and an excusable cause for an affair. You can't push someone into an affair for ecconomic advantage.)

There are pleanty of feminist women who fear no penalty for infidelity.

Infidelity SHOULD be a factor in determining residential child custody, ecconomic divisions, and other equitable relief.

No free pass for cheaters. That is just a lawyers poin of view.

Agree with you as someone who is a child of a marriage that broke up over cheating(my dad was the cheat and mom was blindsided and then taken advantage of by him while he tried to grip every penny for himself and his new 'love'--incidentally, they are now divorcing too after more than 10 years of marriage and this one is not going to be as generous as my mom was)
