What happens if your husband has been cheating?

Answer

Once a cheater almost always they will cheat again. You can file for separation and then divorce, or, you can directly file for divorce and save yourself more anquish. I suggest you see a lawyer and be sure of what your rights are. Ask family or friends if they know a good lawyer or, you can call the Bar Association and they will give you a list of reputable lawyers.

I know how you must feel, because I caught my first husband cheating and I left him and filed for divorced. There were no children or properties involved, so I suggest if you have children, property (including your home) or other invested interests such a stocks/bonds, etc., you seek legal counsel. If you just walk out of the house he could charge you with abandonment or, if you have children, a possible kidnapping charge. It varies from State to State so it's wise to get that lawyer. Some lawyers will give you an hour of free legal advice. You can also make arrangements with your lawyer that your ex is responsible for the cost of the divorce if it's proved he did indeed cheat and with whom. I did with my ex husband.
