I was wondering if I could file for divorce on grounds of adultry if I only have proof of an EA?

Short and sweet.... it depends.
In Tennessee (where I am), judges would rather not be bothered with the marital trash... no matter how hurt you are.
Basically, it usually is a more expensive divorce, and can drag our for longer because you have to bring proof (letters, e mails, witnesses, etc.) to prove your case, and unless you've been married for closer to 20 years, it's not going to make a significant difference in the outcome of the divorce.

The only reason I ask is because as amicably as we are trying to do this, the one thing he will fight me on is being the conservator over our son.

I'm not sure the adultery issue would matter regarding conservatorship of your son, but ask your lawyer.
