Is it adultery?
====Is it adultery?====
Adultery is only an issue for married spouses. Technically speaking, it is, in fact, adultery to have sex with anyone other than your spouse while for so long as you are married. You will remain married until you have obtained an order for your divorce.
While having sex with someone else might constitute adultery, the court will not care whether you've committed adultery or not. As far as the courts are concerned, if your relationship is over, go ahead and do what you like. No one apart from your ex and your in-laws is likely to criticize you for it.
