How Not To Suck At Divorce

167. What No-Fault Divorce Really Means for Affairs, Money, and Custody


Listen Later

When an affair is part of your divorce story, it can feel like there’s no justice...especially in a no-fault state. In this candid, funny-but-serious conversation, Andrea and Morgan break down what you can control: your money, your mindset, and your parenting decisions. They explain how dissipation (spending marital funds on a third party) might matter, when it’s worth digging into records, what to ask your lawyer, and why protecting your mental health (and your kids) is the real win. You’ll also hear how new partners or messy situations (hello, “au pair drama”) can affect parenting time and how to keep your own behavior from hurting your case.

What You’ll Learn:

  1. What a no-fault divorce actually means for affairs
  2. How spending money on someone else can affect your case
  3. A simple way to ask your lawyer about looking into dissipation without overspending
  4. Why protecting your mental health matters more than “justice”
  5. How new partners or messy situations can impact parenting time
