Cor. 7 has a bit of more on the subject of Divorce. It speaks of unbelievers and believers in a marriage.
First off - (especially since there is literally no church mediation in family mattters - the church leaves the dirty work to the world!) Matthew 18 should be employed wheras the church confronts the offender and finally excommunicates and treats them as HEATHEN (UNBELIEVER) - if real repentance is not forthcoming (Give God ample time to work here).
This is about the process of restoration of the offender - but if it doesn't work - then the believer is to consider the offender as an unbeliever and heathen. And once by the body of Christ the offender is considered "non-brethren", the offended party can go to court to obtain a "divorce."
Too many times people have a "form" of religion, but I wonder if they ever were truly "converted" - perhaps they had a nice "religious experience." But never truly were saved.
