Yes. In my state, you MUST assign fault, and adultery is one of the grounds. I'm pretty sure that my state has the strictest divorce laws in the country.

The only no-fault option is conversion of a separation agreement, which must be on file with the court for one year, after which it can be converted into a D without fault being assigned. But there's nothing that says I have to sign such an agreement, so my W is against a rock and a hard place.

I'd much rather she comes back and is willing to work on the R. At least give it an honest effort to make sure we can both walk away with no regrets.
