Do I receive more in divorce if my partner cheated on me?

No. In a Swiss divorce, the reasons for ending the marriage generally do not matter. Division of assets depends solely on the matrimonial property regime chosen. If none was agreed, participation in acquired property applies automatically.  

Beyond the applicable statutory rules, a different division can be achieved only by mutual agreement. Adultery has no influence here.

Adultery also plays no role in calculating whether maintenance must be paid.
