TENNESSEE Part 88

If your spouse committed adultery, but you gave your spouse permission, or forgave your spouse and continued to live with him or her after the affair, the adultery will not prevent your spouse from receiving alimony.

If the unfaithful spouse is in a better financial position, the adultery won’t have any effect on that spouse’s obligation to pay alimony. If you believe your spouse shouldn’t receive alimony because of adultery, you should consult a Tennessee family law attorney to help you prove your case.
