My husband and I are both RN's,and I found out he's been texting an LPN until 4am in the morning almost a year and half now,every night.To this day he denies they had slept together and yet admit to me that they talk about sex when they text each others.My question is we are going 25 yrs. This coming Nov.. Can they both get fired from their jobs and have their licenses taken out for immorality,since they work
Together.How about me for pain and sufferrings?I put him through school and I was the one with the stable job before he became an RN in 2008.Worst is he wants to stay in our house,since he's been the one paying our mortgage when he became an RN,which was our agreement,for him to take over.I can't afford to pay our full mortgage payment and he won't pay halve of the mortgage if he is moving out to get a rental house.Yes I think adultery should be punishable by law in Florida.Florida board of nursing should take out their licenses,for not upholding the pledge that we promised to do our duty to the highest moral standards one can provide.

Adultery, especially UNPROVEN adultery, is not against the law and therefore, unless their work is suffering, there is no recourse for action from their employer.

The state has long ago dropped all adultery laws. Those on the books can not even be enforced because of Supreme Court rulings. So no, they will not be punished and will not lose their license. If the place they work, has any company rules against this, they may get a warning or they may some punishment, but I doubt they even get fired. No one expect family really cares about adultery any longer

You need a good attorney and file for divorce. There is no way to kick him out of the house, expect though divorce court. He will not normally be required to pay for half, who ever gets the house in the divorce will end up paying it ( or the house may be required to be sold and any money split)

No one has been convicted of adultery for decades. No prosecutor will prosecute for it. It has largely become irrelevant as grounds for divorce. While the laws are still on the books, actual practice makes them irrelevant.

As to whether they can be fired for it. It depends on their employment contracts, but the likelihood is no.

If you want to divorce him then do so. He can be compelled by a divorce court to pay part of the mortgage.
