Definition: Sexual intercourse between a married person and a
third party. Once the only grounds for divorce in most states. Today courts are more interested in the economic impact of adultery on the marital estate. Though most states only allow no-fault divorce, some judges will take into account things like how much money was spent on the third party during the affair.
