Adultry

Dear Jingles:

Greetings. First, adultery does not typically affect custody of children, unless you left the children in someone else’s care specifically to engage in the adultery OR if you plan on moving in with your boyfriend after separation. So, to answer your question, you should not move in with your boyfriend and the custody issue should not arise. Now, to protect the person you committed adultery with, you can negotiate for a waiver of third party claims (including alienation of affection and criminal conversation) in your separation agreement. I hope that helps. Thank you.

I am sorry. I did not mean to post my question twice. It looked like it didn’t work the first time, so I did it again. Does this mean that if I moved in with my boyfriend I would not be able to see my children at all? I do not have an income & don’t have anywhere else to go.

Dear Jingles:

Greetings. No problem on the posting. No, I am not telling you that if you move in with your boyfriend that you cannot see your children. What I am telling you is that if you move in with your boyfriend, your spouse may have some strong moral grounds for the children not to live with you or visit at that location. I doubt that visitation would be curtailed, but the living situation could be tricky. Thank you.
