Doesn't matter if one/the other/both screwed around.
Worse yet - in California, if you're married for 7 years or more, 'spousal support' is paid forever (unless said spouse dies or remarries).

This sounds about like what I would expect here in Indiana. I doubt there are many places where who did what means much.
I had a divorce from my first wife. It was tough but I moved on and tried hard to do what was best for our daughter who was 3 at the time. I am now married to a wonderful gal for 32 years and have an excellent relationship with my first daughter who finally figured out about ten years ago that her mom is kindof crazy....four kids with my present wife and total of 11 grandkids.
Hang in there buddy! It will take time but things will get better.
