There is no legal reason why a person cannot start dating before their divorce is final. All jurisdictions in the United States will allow a couple to divorce without having to establish fault on the part of one of the parties.
Moreover, is it OK to date someone who is separated but not divorced?
When you are dating while legally separated, it does not mean that you are divorced from your partner and can marry someone that you are dating. The court’s order granting the legal separation includes orders about alimony, property division, child support, and custody, similar to a divorce order.
Keeping this in view, can I date someone before my divorce is final? The simple answer should always be: “Not until your divorce is final.” But, life is rarely this simple. Divorcing clients are often lonely and stressed out, and they may be longing to meet someone new, feel desirable again, and just have fun, so many clients decide that only one date can’t hurt.
