Financial Infidelity

Infidelity is one of the leading factors that lead to divorce in Georgia and nationwide. However, romantic infidelity is not the only sort of unfaithfulness that may lead to the dissolution of a marriage. Financial infidelity may also have a disastrous effect on a marriage.

The concept of financial infidelity may seem like a foreign one at first blush, but when you consider it, financial fidelity is often viewed by many as just as important to romantic or emotional fidelity. Trust is a vital part of any healthy relationship, and once that has been broken, regardless of how it has been broken, the relationship will suffer.  In a marriage, one of the biggest elements of that trust is with money. You and your spouse work hard, and you both expect to share the resources in some ways that benefit you both. But, when one spouse discovers that the other has been making financial moves that undermine the goals mutually agreed upon by both spouses, it can be a very hard pill to swallow.

Financial infidelity can come in all shapes and forms such as one spouse spending far more money than his or her partner imagined, racking up bills and quietly paying them out of the shared checking account, or even worse, a situation where one spouse is using marital funds to finance an extramarital affair unbeknownst to the other spouse.
