When you file your petition for divorce the paperwork will ask you the reason for divorce, the two most common are Irreconcilable Differences and Adultery. Adultery is defined as sexual infidelity to your spouse and considered extramarital sex. There are some places where adultery is actually illegal. Though you don't see too many people in jail because they cheated on their husband or wife. Of course before you can consider claiming that Adultery is the cause for the divorce there are some traditional yet common behaviors that the cheating spouse does exhibit , see if any of these sound familiar:
• Working overtime when he/she has never worked overtime before
• Taking frequent business trips
• Coming home late from work
• Always taking “ important “ calls in another room
• Loss of interest during sex or in sex in general
• Your home has been getting a lot of hang ups or wrong numbers
• Unexplained charges on charge cards or unexplained bank withdrawals
These are just some of the few, every person is different but there are some spouses who do suspect adultery and they hire private investigator to help confirm this. Once adultery has been established you ( if you are the cheated on spouse) have a better leg to stand on during the divorce. It is more likely that a divorce court judge will grant your divorce with evidence to back it up.
Keep a journal and write everything down, consult with a private investigator if you can afford it. No one wants to get caught cheating and in the event that your spouse gets caught then you have an advantage in a settlement process since a person who has cheated during marriage never wants to be known as the adulterer.
