There are really two issues here. One is a legal divorce, the other is a scriptural divorce. If the innocent mate chooses, they may wish to obtain a legal divorce in order to protect themself financially, or even to collect alimony and/or child support. However, such a divorce would not be recognized by the congregation as grounds to re-marry. The only grounds for divorce that Jesus gave at Matthew 19:9 is fornication, meaning that if the guilty party has not committed fornication, the innocent mate would not be free scripturally to re-marry.

Are children the cause of divorce?

no, the people who divorce each other are the cause of their own divorce. if a parent or both parents want to blame their children or in some cases child for the divorce than they are not taking responsibility for their own actions. divorce is the result of a failed or disappointing marriage. marriages can sometimes be abusive or lacking in mutual affection or desire. therefore, the result at best is divorce and at worst prolonged hardship endured by both partners and the children.
