Yes.
Legally you can walk away with some of your pride and dignity intact and allow them to spend the rest of their lives keeping an eye on each other because they each know the other can't be trusted.
Honestly, why would you want to devote even one more minute of your time or energy on these two even if you could "punish" them? It's unhealthy.

Don't know how legal this is, or even if the story is true.
A wife with a very rich husband got traded in for a younger model. She was given a date to get her stuff out of the (rather grand) house. On the appointed day, she cleared her possessions and enjoyed a last meal in "her" kitchen - prawns and a nice glass of wine. She departed without any bitterness.
The new spouse moved in and, in time the house had a terrible odour. They tried everything - all sorts of experts came and went - no solution. They tried to sell the house but, of course, no one would buy it. After ages, the ex-wife called and offered 10% of the asking price. Ex-hubbie accepted but emptied the house of everything he could. Right down to the curtain rods. Ex-wife moved in and was very happy, especially as she'd bought it with the divorce settlement.
Ex-hubbie was less happy because the odour persisted in the new house. Eventually, they tracked it to the curtain rods. They opened the rods and found prawn shells.
Revenge must have been very sweet indeed!

It would be very difficult unless you could prove tort. In the end, you'd probably just be making an **** of yourself. Better to handle it with some sort of self pride and grace. Move on with your life and let the other party have your cheating spouse. That's the punishment you can levy on them!

You used to be able to sue them for alienation of affection I don't know if you still can or not. Why not wrap him up in a big bow and present the cheater to the cheatee. This would be especially good if she had a significant other. Some would even say this was vindictive. Could be. Let your imagination run wild and then kick him to the curb. You will survive with your dignity intact and you will be better than ever before.

Some states still have "alienation of affection" statutes and "criminal conversation" statutes on the books although they are rarely used in modern times. Adultery is still a crime in some states although it is rarely if ever prosecuted. Moving on is going to be your fastest recovery. You will find someone else and wish that you had not gotten bogged down with trying to punish this person.

Sue the person in civil court for alienation of affection, mental anguish and a number of other reasons. Then get a divorce on the grounds of adultery.

The only one you have a legitimate complaint with is your spouse. Take it up with him/her/it.
