In California, statistics show that about one-third of all marriages will experience marital infidelity. Over a long period of time, couples sometimes lose interest in each other – this could open the door to an extra marital affair – a warning sign that something is wrong.
Adultery is wrong. It leads to secrecy and distance between the couple; it leads to no communication or the wrong kind of communication – yelling and screaming. Marital infidelity does not always mean the end of the relationship, but in most cases it could lead to divorce.
Adultery is not grounds for divorce in California since it is a no-fault divorce state. The only grounds necessary for a California divorce is irreconcilable differences.
