North Carolina is a “No Fault” state, meaning that to obtain a divorce, there are two reasons. Living separate and apart for one year and one day, or spouse is proven legally insane. I don’t know exactly how infidelity works into divorce proceedings, but hopefully, Janet, one of the other attorneys or your own lawyer could answer that.
Dear dhaymon:
Greetings. Yes, the affair was revived and recrimination means that you can bring it up again for the alimony portion. Divorce is only based on one year separation, so if there is no alimony fault issue (or even fault in the ED for dissipation purposes) then no, you won’t need to bring it up in the “divorce” hearing. Thank you.

I forgave my husband in 2005 for hi affair. We reconciled in Jan 2006.In June 2006 I caught him again with the same woman. Can the evidence from his 2005 affair be used against him in a divorce case?
