Adultery Clause

For religious reasons, many parties want to obtain a divorce on the grounds of adultery.   One way to accommodate this which may speed a case along is to either stipulate to it if the case is going to trial anyway.  Another way, if the parties are agreeable to everything else is to agree the parties will be divorced on irreconcilable difference but put an religious and/or adultery clause in the property settlement which states the other party is certifying they committed adultery in order for the other party to have the right to remarry for religious reasons.  This may help speed a case along at times.
