If I live in a no-fault state, is there any reason at all for me to keep the records I have of her extra-marital affairs?
Text messages, emails, phone records, etc. She filed for divorce and has ruined everything I have ever had.

I am so sorry for everything. The records would not be necessary for obtaining the actual divorce given no-fault grounds. However, it could be helpful in the settlement regarding distribution of assets if she used marital funds in any way that would be considered a dissipation. Like say, rented him an apartment or paid for a trip for him, etc.
