-'''Adultery''' is when a spouse has sex with someone who isn’t their spouse. Adultery is usually proved by having the spouse who committed adultery admit it in an affidavit. If your spouse won’t admit to adultery, then you will have to prove it some other way — for example, by having your spouse or another witness testify in court about the adultery. This does not require the other party in the adultery to be a party to the court case, but you may want them to give evidence of the adultery.
+The time to get a divorce varies. There may be many family law issues such as parenting arrangements, child support, spousal support, and division of family property and debt. All these issues must be resolved before a court will make a divorce order, except in special circumstances.
+Once your family law issues are resolved, a divorce can take three to five months to finalize, depending on:
+* what steps have already been taken,
+* how busy the court registry is, and
+* if the spouses live in the same jurisdiction.
+It may be faster if an application for divorce is done through a court hearing. If you have a legitimate reason to speed up the process — for example, you’re getting remarried — you should speak with a lawyer.
