You would certainly, I think, at least be entitled to child support. I am not a lawyer but suggest you get some legal advice at least on a free consultation or try to get legal fees assigned to him in a final settlement. NC is one of the states where adultery is a factor, so, legal advice could really help. My spouse is guilty of adultery here in Florida, but, this state gives it very little credence, although morally it is terrible. Good luck.
