Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Can spouse use adultery as grounds for divorce after learning of the affair, and then deciding to continue to work on the marriage? In a sense forgiving, trying to get back together for a year, then giving up and use the original adultery as grounds. The offening spouse has been totally faithful since.
