"Here's another: Is adultery the only grounds for divorce in the Orthodox Church?"

So far as I can see, the grounds are similar to those in civil courts and not limited to adultery, though I think fault does matter.

My impression was that adultery must be the grounds but is defined somewhat loosly... (The OCA site goes so far as to consider dedication to say alcohol over the family to be a form of adultery).
