No. Most states, including New York, have no fault divorce available and no longer require specific grounds for divorce. A party need only provide a general reason for the divorce such as irreconcilable differences or an irreparable breakdown of the marriage. No fault divorce became available in NY in 2010.In the US, one spouse cannot prevent a divorce.

Can judge give release to marry as soon as you got divorce?
You need to check your specific state's laws, but I know in some states if the divorce was granted on the grounds of adultery, and the 'other woman' is named in the divorce papers, then the husband cannot marry the other woman for at least 30 days after the divorce. If he does, then that marriage is not legal. The same applies if the husband files for divorce on the gounds of adultery, as well. But if the divorce was filed and granted on other grounds, then you are free to remarry as soon as you obtain your new marriage license.

Is there any kind of suit for adultry in cailf?
if one spouse files suit for divorce against the other, she may be in for a long wait. While state law permits a no-fault divorce, couples who agree to part ways must remain separated for at least 1 year before filing for divorce on "no fault" grounds. After 2 years apart, either spouse can get a divorce for any reason. But filing on certain grounds allows the petitioning spouse to have her case heard expeditiously--and one of these grounds is if she claims that her husband is engaged in an adulterous relationship (the other is on grounds of cruelty).
