Adultery

I left my husband as I felt it too dangerous to stay after 20 years together.
We agreed to divorce June 2016.
Then he decided the reason (Unreasonable behaviour) was wrong, and created problems, cross petition, process server etc.
The upshot was I had to apply to court for divorce and settlement.
In this time he has had "A load of girlfriends".
He currently has one...they cohabit at hers and my FMH.
He is still legally married to me, as he has been so difficult with the divorce.
He is breaking the law as this is adultery, and I think morally it is wrong.
Why do men do this?
Are they all pathetic species that need a body as they are not capable of being a grown up doing their own housework?
In my eyes if you want a new bird, you should divorce the old one first?
Should this have a bearing on my financial settlement?

Adultery as a moral issue is not relevant to a financial settlement. Relevant behaviour to affect a financial settlement has to be very extreme. It is generally limited to behaviour/conduct in respect of the financial negotiations/disclosure and detrimental behaviour in the financial court proceedings.

The only relevant adultery can have, is, if the relationship is a cohabitation and it is proven or accepted when it can then reduce income needs and housing needs.

I dont think this situation is adultery as the relationship started after you had left and divorce proceedings started....in my mind, this is really different than if it had started whilst you were together. The fact that you are still legally married may make you suggest what he is doing is wrong but if you take a step back, you might gain comfort from the fact that this is all after you split x
