Who has the upper hand in divorce if one of them is cheating?
Divorce is generally governed by state laws. "Cheating" is usually viewed as more significant to the victim. To the courts, it is simply a reason for ending a marriage. The courts do not punish "cheating" spouses for the injured party nor does "cheating" give anyone the "upper hand" in a divorce action. Law controls for the most part and most states now have no-fault divorce. That said, judges do have some degree of latitude in issuing rulings and a party whose actions cause the marriage to fail may find the judge's sympathies lie with the injured party.Divorce is generally governed by state laws.
