Should Spousal Misconduct be Considered?

Arizona is considering an amendment to their divorce law. They're talking about including "spousal misconduct" as an influential factor.

If passed, the new bill will not affect the courts judgment for granting divorce, but it will affect how the court divides assets and sets alimony. Currently Arizona Judges are required to look at these issues, "without regard to marital misconduct."

This could mean that things like extramarital affairs and spousal abuse will bring higher rewards to the victim. Is this appropriate, or will it just tie up court time with he said/she said drama.
