Re: Divorce question
From your question I am not sure what you want to sue for. If you want to sue for divorce based on adultery, you can.
Divorces in New York do not assign fault, and nothing is decided based on fault. Neihter you nor your spouse will lose visitation rights because of adultery. Even though adultery is morally wrong, it does not give you any advantage in court for a divorce.
