What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
Now that I finally have proof of my wifes adultry, my wife is willing to get a divorce. However, she would like me to file for a no-fault divorce so the details are not brought out in public. I don't particulary care as long as we are divorced, but now that I have proof, do I give anything up by not filing for an at fault divorce? There are no children and not much in the way of assets/debt to worry about. My state also has a seperation period for no-fault divorces, but she is willing to waive that. |

You are not giving up anything by filing for a no fault divorce. It may be a longer waiting period. The process will most likely take less time than fighting things out.
