Heading: whether the respondent should have been awarded a divorce on the grounds of adultery?

Text: ¶ 30. [I]n order to grant a divorce on the ground of adultery, adultery must be proven by clear and convincing evidence. McAdory v. McAdory, 608 So.2d 695, 699 (Miss.1992) (quoting Dillon v. Dillon, 498 So.2d 328, 329 (Miss.1986)). The spouse seeking divorce on the ground of adultery must show both an adulterous inclination and a reasonable opportunity to satisfy that inclination. Id. (citations omitted). ¶ 31. Mrs. Rushing complains that although the record appears to establish an adulterous inclination, there is no evidence of the opportunity to satisfy such inclination. No such evidence is required in this case. Mrs. Rushing conceded her adultery in open court. Therefore, we affirm the chancellor's grant of a divorce on this ground.
