Adultery is sex. So it isn't adultery. But, as I am sure your attorney will tell you (and you need one if a divorce is expected), the dating may (often but not always) have other and sometimes very negative consequences to your case and its outcome.
As a practical matter, even if it does nothing else, it could make a case far more expensive, as things that upset the other party tend to make your legal fees go way up and make a case drag on longer.
