| | | Adultry, Divorce, an Officer and no Gentleman
What is the name of your state? WA
I am a civilian, soon to be divorced from a civilian. He had an affair with a single U.S. Navy CDR, which is why we are getting divorced. Many in my life want me to use the affair in our divorce proceedings, which would I assume get her into trouble. (My mom wants to call the Navy and complain!) I have never met this woman, nor do I want to. The problem is that I do not want to ruin her career. My husband is a scum bag. In my book the affair is between the two of us, and was a blessing in disguise.
If I were to let my divorce attorney use the affair in court, what would happen to the female officer? ( i know, why should I care. But, who knows what he told her.....) |

| | | Nothing may happen to her. In order to prosecute someone for adultery under the UCMJ there must be a military 'nexus', i.e. the government must show that the conduct somehow adversely impacted morale or cohesion, etc. If she was having a relatively quiet affair on the side with a civilian, with no other ties to the military, then it is likely she would not face punitive punishment, at least. Of course embarrassment is a possibility, and depending on how her superiors feel she could get some "unnofficial" administrative troubles. A lot of men in the navy have two standards for conduct (well, a "lot of men" generally, I suppose). |

| | | The issue of adultery will have no bearing on your divorce. WA is a no fault state.
If I am not mistaken (which, I could be...I'll have to look it up) technically, SHE did not commit adultery. Your husband did.
