Cheating on your spouse is no longer a crime in New York
(gothamist.com)
Its not cheating if you tell them
You used to have to prove adultery in order to get a divorce in New York state.
Family story time! My great-grandparents wanted to get divorced and were in New York, so my grandfather lay in a bed next to his mother-in-law under the covers and my grandmother took a photo to present to the courts. My great-grandmother apparently never even took off her coat.
That's hilarious and somehow wholesome that everyone pitched in to get the separation
Woot to all the people that were horny but it was the legal system stopping them from cheating on their spouse.
Great now make it so if you cheat you lose the ability to get alimony.
And an open relationship is different then cheating.
People who are so concerned about that possibility can just require their prospective spouse to sign a prenup with conditions like that on alimony, as a condition of getting married.

I'm just waiting on incoming news about Hochul cheating on her husband.
Criminal Court? 👎 Civil Court? 👍
Quite literally what civil court was made for
I mean, fair, but doesn't really seem like something worth the effort one direction or the other, doubt that law was being enforced much.
We should reduce as much as possible laws that make something illegal but aren't enforced. It creates uncertainty about your position and allows authorities to threaten citizens for unrelated reasons.
