Infidelity: Divorce Clinic on This Morning


Earlier today, I appeared on ITV This Morning to answer viewers’ questions for the programme’s Divorce Clinic.

This time the subject was infidelity and, as always, the questions were varied. Can text messages constitute adultery and be the basis for divorce? What is the difference between infidelity and adultery? If you divorce your spouse because of adultery, is it a swift and simple process? You can find out these answers, and more, by watching the clip here.

Adultery – or rather, adultery as a basis for divorce – is a relatively straightforward area of family law. However there are common misconceptions. We covered some of these on the show, and I’m going to publish my ten top divorce and adultery myths tomorrow.

In the meantime, if you can think of any other mistaken beliefs, or if you have any questions about adultery or the answers given in today’s programme, leave a comment below.

    Saw Marilyn Stowe on this morning today. She offers sound advice and I found it really helpful. She was equally helpful during a consultation and I would not hesitate to use her again in the future.

    What am I entitled too, my husband committed Adultry last year, I asked him to leave, he has given me several poposals, I have given him my one proposal and he has now informed me all of his proposals are non valid now as he has been to a Solicitor and been advised he is entitled to 50% of all assets 50% share of all investments and savings and equal split of pension rights. What am I entitled too please?
    Kind regards
