Best Answer

Alimony is a maintenance payment by a person to his or her spouse. The rules vary significantly between states and between countries but in general, the payment is set by a court and will take into account matters such as behavior of both parties , previous lifestyle and the needs of each person. Cheating is behavior that will gain no reward from the court but is rarely the only factor in the judgment made.

Alimony is not child support. Regardless of the behavior of either the husband or the wife, child support payments are almost always demanded from the absent parent to assist in the costs of raising children, if there are are any.

In this enlightened age of equality, alimony and child support payments may be required from either the wife or husband depending on the circumstances.

What does it mean if husband confesses to cheating?

He feels guilty, but what you have to find out is why does he feel like cheating and does he want to stay in a relationship with you. Any relationship an individual enters into be a friendship or love takes work; honesty, trust and loyalty, but humans can make mistakes.

If you have absolute proof that your husband is cheating with this other woman then you should deal with your own problems with your husband first and yes, the other woman's husband should know. This is not an uncommon problem and most people (whether a husband cheats with another man's wife or a wife cheats with one of her friend's husbands) is very common and the victim of the cheating generally does tell the husband or wife that their spouse is cheating with their spouse.
