Key Differences Between Infidelity and Adultery Infidelity encompasses a wide range of betrayals, including emotional, physical, financial, and cyber. Adultery, on the other hand, is strictly related to physical sexual acts outside of marriage. Adultery only applies to married individuals.
Adultery can be taken into account when deciding the amount of alimony to be granted. In some cases, a spouse can be denied alimony if they have committed adultery, or be obligated to provide alimony if they engaged in infidelity. However, adultery alone will not decide the spousal support argument.
