Adultery can impact both alimony and alienation of affections. Adultery can be proven through circumstantial evidence, if the spouse can show “opportunity and inclination” which translates to: time together alone and display of affection. Based on the circumstances you describe, it is advisable that you consult an attorney individually to determine the level of risk you face. Lisa M.

A very good male friend of mine has recently seperated and is now filing for divorce. His wife has accused him of having an affair with me. The affair never too place. I am currently married and have 2 children. My husband and my family are all aware of my friendship with this male and know that the affair did not take place. His wife is threatening to take him to court to prove the affair and collect allimony. He does make more money than her but she makes close to $40,000 a year and he is giving her the house. He has payed her a large sum of money every week since they seperated, he has not retrieved most of his personal property. She says she has proof, which could only be the two of us having lunch together where he payed several times and phones calls to each others cell. Should I be worried even though there can not possibly be any proof other than the 2 things listed above? She has asked for $1500 a month in allimony and he is refusing. He only makes around $50,000. Can I be made to go to court, does she have a chance of taking it to court?
