Adultery is a misdemeanor in Florida.
Title XLVI
CRIMES
Chapter 798

798.01 Living in open adultery.--Whoever lives in an open state of adultery shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. Where either of the parties living in an open state of adultery is married, both parties so living shall be deemed to be guilty of the offense provided for in this section.
Finally. I can't believe it's taken this long to get to this point.
