  • When two people get divorced because one of them cheated the spouse that was cheated on is certainly hurt and angry and wants to lash out. The child should always be put first. Even though your husband cheated the courts may possibly allow, for the sake of the child, that there be visitation rights.
Answer

Yes. Infidelity in a marriage is quite common. It is not a legal grounds for denial of parental rights as part of a divorce. The child's father will be eligible for shared custody and visitation rights and for the sake of your child you should keep your marital problems to yourself and help the child enjoy a good relationship with her father.

Generally, parental rights are curtailed only when the parent is deemed unfit. The factors used to determine that a parent is unfit are generally governed by state laws with child endangerment being the determining factor. The following include some of the reasons a parent may be declared unfit:

  • physical, emotional and sexual abuse
  • excessive discipline
  • failure to protect the child from abuse by others
  • failure to report abuse of the child
  • neglect- failure to provide food, clothing, proper hygiene, necessary medical treatment, schooling
  • failure to provide proper medical care
  • failure to provide day to day parental care
  • serious illness or disability
  • mental illness
  • substance abuse or addiction
  • Alcoholism
  • criminal activity and/or associations
  • incarceration
  • conduct or conditions that are seriously detrimental to the child
  • abandonment
  • child endangerment
  • leaving the child unattended or in the care and supervision of a child or otherwise incompetent person
  • a failure to provide adequate supervision
  • unsafe living conditions
  • a medical condition that makes it impossible for the parent to adequately care for the child

  • Since you have become pregnant from having affair with another man and if your husband has forgiven you and is acceptable of the baby then the two of you can raise that child. However, if the biological father is interested in his own baby then he has some visitation rights. If you husband does not want to raise another man's baby then you will have to consider at least separation from your husband or divorce if you want to raise this child alone. The man you had the affair with should pay child support. You would be wise to seek legal advice.

You have the right to a divorce. But with the advent of no fault divorce, you would have had that right anyway. You may be able to get favorable consideration in custody and in alimony, depending on how the state's laws are written, but generally, it doesn't matter who cheated if the marriage will end in divorce.

Should you accept husband and mistress' child?

If your husband has broken off the affair with the mistress then your husband should do the right thing and pay child support, but that does not mean you have to accept the child into the family. If the mistress does not want the child then it is up to you whether you want to help to raise that child. If your husband is still seeing his mistress then pack his bags and kick him out and either file for a separation or divorce.

What will you do if your husband tells you to go away and leave your child after paying rent?

He has no legal right to kick you out. You have equal rights to the child as long as you are married but possession is 9/10 of the law. So I would either stay (unless it gets dangerous) and get a lawyer to get temporary custody until the divorce is over. Cheating is not right but it happens and both parents should make sure the child is not suffering and they should try to stay civil towards each other.

If you and your husband have been living separate how easy would it be to file for an uncontested divorce with one child?

You need to seek legal advice because of the child. If your husband has been visiting the child, then he still has a right to see him/her. No matter what your feelings are towards your husband that is your child's father. You can get a divorce, but there will probably be stipulations to visitation rights. It's best to seek legal advice. If you are both fair about it this should be an easy process, but could take up to a year for you to receive your papers because the courts are busy. Good Luck Marcy
