Can you divorce after adultery?

If you believe your spouse’s adultery has caused the marriage to have irretrievably broken down, you can commence divorce proceedings. This is done by signing the “statement of irretrievable breakdown” in the divorce application.

It is only possible to commence divorce proceedings if you have been married a year or more.

In some cases, couples therapy and counselling can play a crucial role in healing a marriage after infidelity. These services can help couples address underlying issues and develop strategies for rebuilding trust.
