Re: joint home owners
I am afraid that none of the circumstances you mention would play any significant part in deciding the division the matrimonial assets if you should divorce. Thus any adultory by your wife is totally irrelevant and the fact that you have paid the mortgage is unlikely to affect the division.
I would be happy to advise on what would be a proper settlementbut as such is based largely on the needs of the parties after the divorce however I would need very considerably more information from you.
