S10 Ep87: Does Cheating Affect How Assets are Divided?

#ChooseGoldman Many people believe that marital infidelity entitles them to receive all assets in a divorce. However, because Michigan is a no-fault divorce state, cheating rarely causes major shifts in property division beyond minor adjustments. • Michigan is a no-fault divorce state, meaning infidelity does not prevent a divorce or give one spouse full entitlement to all marital property. • Egregious fault like cheating can slightly alter property division, but court awards typically range from 55/45 to 60/40 rather than dramatic splits. • Appellate courts routinely reverse extreme property splits, such as 80/20 or 70/30 ratios. • Proving legal causation is difficult because courts often view infidelity as a symptom of a broken relationship rather than its primary cause. • Due to causation challenges, parties rarely gain significant leverage in asset division solely based on claims of cheating. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
