While adultery can be alleged as a cause for divorce against the adulterer, it has no immediate bearing on the division of assets of the parties, divorce in Canada being currently guided by a no fault principle. Adultery by itself then has no legal incidence on the division of the family patrimony or on the regime of partnership of acquests. Adultery by itself could not be alleged to request any form of unequal division of assets.

Every case is unique however and other factors could come into consideration. We recommend you consult a lawyer to review your particular situation.
