Marriage continued to disintegrate to separation (lots of emotional/verbal abuse, aggression toward children, disregard in the marriage bed for consideration of dislikes), and backsliding to alcohol and over-buying things in spite of marriage friction on it
Separation for four years, continued abuse, and was never reconstructed to a marriage
Divorce filed by spouse who had been using pornography
That spouse remarried (since the other party was not willing to reconcile)
Is the spouse left unmarried able to marry <<< this spouse was not unfaithful?

Clear cut case according to Jesus:
Matt 19:9
9And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
The innocent party can marry again. The guilty party may not.
