There are a few things here that need to be addressed, but first and foremost he should really consult with a licensed attorney in the state where he intends to file. If there are children involved, it may be easier for him to file in California if that is where the children are residing as California would have jurisdiction over everything to do with the children. Otherwise, he can file in the state he resides in for divorce and follow their state laws where she would have to be the one to appear, as long as he has met that states specific residency requirements.
For more information on how each state deals with divorce (alimony, child support, residency requirements, etc...), he should look to the Resource pages of DadsDivorce.com. The first link I have at the bottom will take you to that page where you can select the state and get a summary of that state's laws. The reason why I suggest he review the state laws of where he lives (again, if children are not involved), is because the state he currently resides in may have more favorable laws towards men than California.
Some states do not require alimony to be paid, others require a time frame of marriage like 5 or 10 years before it can be awarded, while still others make it mandatory and a life sentence. This is only one example of how divorce in one state versus another can create huge differences in outcomes. Another example would be the financial cost and obligation to appear in court in another state.
If he files in California then he would have to travel, but if he were to file in the state where he resides (given that he can) then she would be responsible for the travel which might be beneficial to him. In regards to your specific question, does California consider cheating when determining alimony, the following excerpt is from the summary pages of DadsDivorce.com: "There are several forms of spousal support. The first is temporary maintenance, which is paid during the trial or proceedings and before the divorce is finalized.
There is rehabilitative maintenance, most often done in short marriages ( less than 10 years) where one spouse pays for the other to complete an education or training program. And lastly, permanent maintenance, where the court sets a support amount to be paid on a long term basis. In determining spousal support, fault can play a role.
However, only the fault of the party seeking maintenance is considered, not the party who would pay. Special needs, such as a disability, are considered in determining maintenance. The needs of one spouse and the ability of the other to pay are the primary factors in determining support amounts.
Since most spouses work, spousal support (if necessary at all), is usually for finite period of time and modest amount. Spousal support in California can continue for an indefinite period, and it may be increased or decreased if there is a change in either party's circumstances." Again, he should seek legal counsel (get initial consultations with an attorney in each state to determine which state would be the best for him and his situation) from a licensed attorney in the appropriate state.
California is a no-fault state. It makes no difference if he cheated or not. The courts will set up an alimony arrangement based on income disparity and child support based on custody.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
