Child custody cases are difficult even under the best of circumstances, but when you throw an affair into the situation, they become even worse. Some parents who are going through a divorce have to deal with the fact that their ex has the person they were having the affair with living with them. This means that the children are going to spend time with that person, which can be hard to handle.

One thing that you have to realize in these situations is that you have to put your own emotions aside. Instead of focusing on how it makes you feel, consider how your children are faring. It is fully possible that they are safe and building a loving relationship with their other parent because even a horrible spouse can be a fantastic parent.
