Divorce

adultery

Adultery is voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse. Adultery is a leading cause of divorce, and in some states may be relevant in determining who was at fault for the breakup of the marriage, and whether the innocent spouse is entitled to an unequal division of the assets.

In Nebraska, adultery is not specifically addressed as a criminal offense, but it can have legal implications in the context of divorce proceedings. Nebraska is a 'no-fault' divorce state, which means that a divorce can be granted without the need to prove wrongdoing by either spouse. However, the conduct of the parties during the marriage, including adultery, may be considered by the court when determining issues such as the division of marital property or alimony. While adultery itself may not be the sole basis for an unequal division of assets, it could potentially influence the court's decisions if it is shown to have had an economic impact on the marital estate or affected the well-being of the children involved.
