she wont move in with lover just to get my money

My wife has a boyfriend that she has introduced my kids to and she has him in the house during the week while I am working away. I am therefore going to divorce her for adultery.

She has told me that she wont live with him as that would reduce the amount of money that i would have to pay her.

Is there any way that I can get the courts to take his income into account under these circumstances?

I am no expert on this but I dont think they will take his income into account until they are cohabitating. Sorry probably not what u wanted to hear.

BC. Its bad news I am afraid. Until they declare they are cohabiting, there is nothing you can do about it.

Does he have his own house? Is he on the electoral role there? Is he paying utility bills there? If it yes to all these questions, you don't have a leg to stand on and will have to pay SM.

My experience is as follows: I found out about my wife's affair in July 06. I moved out of FMH in Nov 06 and have been living half a mile away in a rented house. I share care of children with ex2b on 50:50 basis, week on, week off. I have paid SM to ex2b for 11 months now and her boyfriend has been living in FMH "unofficially" since May/June. I have spoken to the Council Tax fraud team, as she is claiming single adult discount for council tax. Nothing they can do as he is supposed to be living with his Mum and Dad. He doesn't have his own place so he has no defence there but until they declare it, I'm stuck. I am keeping an eye on the new electoral role which comes out in December and will go and read it to see if he is on it the FMH.

Good luck
