Not true in Canada. There is no blame attached to adultery in determining division of property and support. It may have minimal relevance in custody cases. Adultery only allows you to get divorced sooner than the normal one year seperation period.

I practiced family law for about 10 years. This law in Michigan is stupid, and probably unconstitutional.

In my experience, I see that there are many different kinds of marriages and arrangements. You would be surprised to learn how few married couples even share the same bed room after a few years of marriage.
