How would you decide the amount of the fine if one cheater is a minimum wage McDonald's employee and the other a Trumpish billionaire married to an aging supermodel who knew him very well when she landed him?

So you want the secular state to make money off cheating spouses?
It could go to help the victims of the cheats. There is long term damage in a lot if these cases.

Maybe. But it's none of my business... I believe in freedom.
That is why laws are needed. To ensure freedom is maintained. True liberty is submission.

Thus we do need governments who do have our best interests at heart.
When we realise our unity as a human race, that will happen also.

So it would be best if people did cheat?

The fine would make a lot of sense, and a lot of money. Society wins out because minimum wage people would not be able to afford to have affairs. And, to make more money for border walls or the military, rich people could be encouraged to have affairs. And more middle-class people would be encouraged to make more money so that they can someday afford to fool around.
But, there might be a problem on who's going to judge these cases? Jesus asked for the one without sin to cast the first stone and nobody did. I don't think it's much better these days. I think the scariest thing around would be those that act as if they are so "pure" as to never, ever cheat, or to even think about cheating, and having them be the ones judging the rest of the people.

Cheating is a violation of trust
An open relationship is an exploration of trust
It looked like a triple negative to me

YES
NO
NOT(A) AND NOT(B) = NOT( NOT( NOT(A) AND NOT(B ) ) ) = NOT(A OR B)
A = "Be Best"
AND = "IF"
B = "Cheat"

So not doublespeak, but triplespeak? Gotchagotchagotcha.
To the reply I answered it was in context.
No to wanting to punish people.
Best if people chose not to cheat in the first place.
