Does cheating affect divorce outcomes in BC?
Many people assume that an affair automatically means more spousal support or a larger share of family property, but in most cases, that is not how BC family law works.
Courts usually focus on financial circumstances, legal rights, property division rules, and statutory factors — not marital misconduct.
There are exceptions, especially if the consequences of the affair affected someone’s mental health, financial situation, or ability to earn income, but this must be supported by evidence.
Every family law matter is different. Speak with a lawyer to understand how the law applies to your situation.
