A:
Jackie,
You have the right to file a divorce based on adultery, however it is not wise to do so for several reasons. Irretrievable breakdown is the suggested approach.
I would be happy to work with you on your getting a divorce quickly and for the least expense.
I am LAR certified and could work with you on an LAR basis. See:

A: You may be better off to file a complaint for divorce for cruel and abusive treatment and/or irretrievable breakdown. Adultery is still a crime on the books and there would be difficulties of proof. Conduct is only one statutory factor to consider in property division and hence I would not waste time and money to pursue this route.
