My partner cheated on me – what does that mean in family law?
Lots of clients ask, and some even hope, that there is some kind of compensation for their partner having cheated on them.
Since 1975, Australia has had a “no fault” family law system. This means that “adultery” (your partner cheated on you) isn’t part of what goes into working out whether you can divorce, what you get by way of a property settlement and whether the other party can see the children.
Cheating hurts. Being cheated on hurts. Counselling is a big help towards getting through one of the most painful times of your life. Psychological help is now more available than previously. Contact your GP for a Mental Health Plan and referral to a psychologist so there is only a small gap to pay for each visit.
