I'm not sure what state you're in, but if it's a fault-based state, you probably have a better chance of getting more of the assets. You can also look into whether your state has an alienation of affection law. If so you can sue on that basis (I believe you would sue the OW). As far as alimony, your attorney can advise you of all the factors they consider. I highly doubt you can get all of his income.
In either case, just be careful. It can all backfire. Though he betrayed you and your daughters, you going after him and the OW full throttle may not only make their relationship stronger (they have something new to bond through), but talking to the kids about it can also bring court sanctions to you. I do believe the best revenge you can exact on him is by moving on and making your life better than it ever was with his lousy butt. Good luck.
You really need to help yourself first and not focus your whole life on getting revenge on your ex.
"partially because I was begging him to stay and work on our marriage."
Why on earth would you even want to stay with someone who so blatantly disregarded your feelings and the marriage?
"I've been doing my best to make their life a living hell."
Does this make you feel any better?

Don't forget that you're eligible for half his retirement as well.
Hi there iusedtolovehim,
I think the first thing I'd do in your shoes is completely denounce my previous statements.
It certainly does hurt when your marriage ends, especially when it ends with a betrayal. However, bitter and angry is no way to go through life. How do you find peace again? I don't know.... you just do it. Every morning, you just resolve to not be bitter and hateful for the day. The best revenge is living well.
