How do you prove adultery? Does someone have to admit it in court?

The procedure may vary a bit from province to province. In Alberta, there is a standard form of affidavit that a person can sign that admits adultery. It says that a spouse had sexual intercourse with a person other than his or her spouse while married. This affidavit is filed at the courthouse along with the other divorce documents and will serve to prove adultery. You should check with a lawyer in your province to see about the procedure.
