Question: Who pays for a divorce adultery?

In most cases, the costs will be split between the divorcing couple as follows: where adultery is the fact proven, the respondent will pay for 100% of the costs of the divorce (including the court fee). For unreasonable behaviour, the couple will split the costs 50/50.

Who pays the costs in court proceedings? Despite prevailing opinion, it really does matter who initiates divorce proceedings. If you are the one who is being divorced (the “respondent”), the Court might order you to pay the legal fees of both sides.

Does adultery affect the divorce settlement?

Could adultery affect my financial settlement? It may surprise you to learn that the short answer to this question is no. When someone files for divorce on the grounds of adultery they may feel that, as the injured party, they should receive a more generous financial settlement.
