Dear sally38:
Greetings. First, the most important thing in your post below was that the divorce did not contain a provision asking the court to preserve the issue of equitable distribution for later adjudication. Check into this immediately with your attorney. Make the call now and come back to the post! Set up camp! Also, if your attorney won’t return your call within 24 hours and he/she is not in court, call your attorney’s boss (if they are an associate) or call a new attorney.
Okay, now onto the custody issue, adultery is generally only an issue for alimony. I cannot imagine that it matters for custody, unless you don’t want her around the children. Best of luck.
