If my husband admits to an affair and leaves our house to live with his adult daughter, does that meet requirement for physical separation? Because he had an affair, must I wait to file a petition of divorce?

You can file for a divorce immediately after he leaves, noting that you are entitled to a divorce based on being separated for 6 months after he was served with the Petition for Divorce. To get an immediate divorce because he committed adultery, you need more than him admitting to an affair. I do not know the Jurisdiction in which you will have to file, but please consult with an attorney in that Jurisdiction.
