Cheating, divorce and spousal abuse

On Behalf of | Feb 15, 2019 | Domestic Violence

Marriages fall apart for many different reasons. Sometimes, couples can work with each other to repair the damage that has been done, but many marriages are never able to overcome these hurdles. For example, infidelity and spousal abuse are common reasons for a couple splitting ways. In some instances, these two issues may be connected with each other. For example, someone may be so upset with their spouse’s affair that they physically or verbally abuse their partner. Or, someone may decide to cheat on their spouse because they are upset about abuse that they have to endure.

Spousal abuse is a serious problem and, in some cases, it can be life-threatening. If you ever feel that your well-being or the safety of your children is in danger, it is imperative to take steps to protect yourself right away. Sadly, some people have waited until it is too late. There may be a number of avenues available if you decide to address domestic violence, such as ending a toxic marriage or even pursuing a restraining order.

Domestic violence and infidelity can lead to very hard feelings, which can get in the way of a couple’s progress as they work through the process of divorce. If you and your partner are struggling with any of these hurdles personally, it is imperative to understand any strategies that could ease tensions or increase the chances of a favorable outcome.
