What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
As I've posted on here, I am scheduled for a MSC this upcoming year and was wondering if being in a relationship will affect the outcome of my divorce? My STBX has been living with a woman (only months after we seperated) and are "engaged" can I use this information to protect myself if in case this comes up in court?
:confused:
I've been misunderstood on here and whenever I ask a question it's simply disregarded and given the most minimal information if any, I'm simply trying to receive potentially useful information without contacting my lawyer and then being billed for "phone call"s..thanks in advanced

Its honestly unlikely that his new relationship would have any bearing on your marital property settlement (I am assuming that MSC refers to that).

There are a few states where adultery might be a factor in a property settlement, but I don't believe that CA is one of them.

However, CA is a community property state and you will be entitled to 50% of the marital assets, and be responsible for 50% of the marital debts.

The MSC I'm assuming (my lawyer only advised me we had a court date in Jan) is over the debt I want resolved, I ended up paying a debt collector almost $500 because of a cell phone account I opened for him and he left unpaid. We share absolutely no community property and he is attempting to collect from me a debt garnished from his wages by the IRS for taxes we filed together. If we have a child support/custody order already in place do you think I can get modifications there?
I know I've asked this before (I was told to ask my lawyer) but we have turned in paperwork signed by all members in this case to terminate status and because this was just filed about a week and a half ago will it be dismissed because we have this conference coming up in such short time as well?

MSC - Mandatory Settlement Conference

I have never understood the concept of starting a relationship before the other one is over, however, in the eyes of the CA courts, everyone cheats, no one is surprised when one commits adultery, no one cares.
