Depending upon how crafty his lawyer may be and the personal background and psyche of the Judge, this may be used as a ground for divorce.
However, you may need to include this incident as "emotional violence" committed against you, by way of a complaint to be made under the D.V.A.. You may file an application under DVA in the same very divorce proceedings.
During trial of divorce case, you may need to handle the issue properly bringing the incident within the parameters of 'sudden reaction' to what he said; and that the tape is NOT the entire conversation that had taken place between the two of you.
The burden to prove adultery will be on him; and this tape may not be sufficient evidence, sans any other corroborative evidence. He may also be required to provide details of the person with whom adultery is alleged.
