Mulboyne wrote:It doesn't just impact divorce settlements. If a wife can prove her husband has been unfaithful, she can apply to have a portion of his income paid directly to her by his employer. In effect, she can get a form of alimony without getting divorced.
Samurai_Jerk wrote:Wow. Can the husband use it to his advantage if he can prove his wife has been cheating?
Mulboyne wrote:No. It's only for a wife to use against a cheating husband. It's a long time since I read about that aspect of family law but I think think it envisaged a situation where a wife wished to ensure that money was used for her children in priority to her husband's mistresses, and any children that might result from those relationships. By giving her this arrangement within marriage, it allowed her to avoid the stigma of divorce while also stopping a mistress from becoming a wife and giving formal family status to any children she might have. The attachment only applies to income and not to assets but, if she can remain married, then she and her children retain their claims on the husband's inheritance. I don't know how frequently such claims are made and how good the enforcement mechanisms are for payment. I do know that a claim can also be made by a common-law wife.
I also have a foreign friend who faced such a claim many years ago. He didn't have the guts to break up with his wife and increasingly made her life with him intolerable. He would leave evidence of his trysts in plain sight. It might not even have been deliberate: he might have just got more careless while harbouring the hope that his wife would walk out on him. Whatever he planned, she confronted him and spelled out that she was not going to give him a divorce and would be looking for a fairly hefty chunk of his income. They are still married today.
