Divorcee gets to make a scene? That's correct! (5)

I believe the answer is:

exact

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'correct' is the definition.
('exact' can be similar in meaning to 'correct')

'divorcee gets to make a scene?' is the wordplay.
'divorcee' becomes 'ex' (I've seen this in other clues).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to make a scene?' becomes 'act' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ex'+'act'='EXACT'

'that's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for exact that I've seen before include "Force out" , "As a right, demand" , "Particular" , "Precisely accurate" , "Finished" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
