Divorce Law Adultery UK



Adultery is a term used when one partner has had a sexual relationship with a third party of an opposite sex (sometimes a more common term of infidelity is used by couples in a marriage counseling session). It is important that people are clear about the Divorce Law as far as "Adultery" is concerned. There has to be proof that a "sexual" relationship has taken place and that this relationship was with a member of the opposite sex. If a partner has committed adultery by having a sexual relationship with a member of the same sex, then according to the UK Divorce Law, this is not grounds for Adultery, but rather classified as "Divorce due to Unreasonable Behaviour".

What are the points that you need to be aware of when filling for divorce under the grounds of Adultery:

  • Adultery is only granted if there has been sexual relationship involving a member of opposite sex outside that of the marriage.
  • There are "time limits" involved in the cases of Adultery. A person must file for divorce within six months of discovering the Adultery. This, however, does not apply if the couple do not continue to live together after the Adultery has been discovered.
  • It is not necessary, or recommended, to name the third party involved in the Adultery.
  • Which partner has committed the act of Adultery has no bearing on the court's decision when considering the assets, children or any other judgments passed.
