Responding to Adultery

The institution of marriage is built around monogamy: two people committing themselves to one another exclusively. Although marriages involve many interconnections between the lives of two people, sexual monogamy is near the center of the relationship. When one spouse commits adultery, it can ruin the relationship. In many cases divorce is the most sensible option. If you and your spouse are considering divorce, talking to an experienced California divorce lawyer can help you decide if it is the right choice for you.

Although not every culture practices monogamy, marriages in the West are usually a union of two people and only two people. Honesty and communication are among the most important parts of a healthy relationship. Unless you and your spouse have made some other arrangement, breaking your vow of monogamy is a fundamental breach of trust.

Making the Right Choice

Depending on the circumstances, divorce may or may not be the best option for you. Some couples find they can heal the rift created by adultery. For some, there is a difference between a spontaneous drunken fling with a former lover and a systematically concealed years-long affair with another person. Deciding on the right course of action can be difficult, but a lawyer can help you decide.
