Some states still have criminal statutes making adultery a crime, although they are no longer enforced.

In a divorce, the adulterous party may receive a less than favorable settlement. Additionally, a few states still allow the civil tort alienation of affection, where the wounded spouse may file a lawsuit against the third party.
