Is cheating on your spouse illegal in Missouri or Illinois?
SUMMARY: Two weeks after a viral Coldplay concert incident sparked talk about cheating, legal perspectives on adultery across the U.S. have come into focus. Adultery, a common reason for divorce, can sometimes carry legal consequences, though federal law does not ban it. In Missouri, adultery is not a criminal offense, but it can influence divorce rulings and inheritance rights. Illinois allows no-fault divorce, but adultery remains a Class A misdemeanor if “open and notorious,” punishable by jail or fines, though prosecutions are rare. Adultery often appears in related legal matters rather than as a direct criminal charge.
