Are you single if you are separated?

Are you single if you are separated?

What does it mean to be separated? A separation isn’t the same as a divorce. Separation means that you are living apart from your spouse, but you’re still legally married until you get a judgment of divorce from a court (even if you already have a judgment of separation).

Can you live with someone else while legally separated?

You and your spouse may live in the same house but must live separate lives. You cannot eat together or sleep together. You must be living as roommates and no more. You or your spouse must also have the intention to move out when the circumstances permit.

Should I date someone who is legally separated?

There are many men and women who have a rule when it comes to dating someone who is separated but not divorced yet: they won’t do it. So, don’t be so quick to decline a date with someone who isn’t divorced yet! You could be jumping to judgment too quickly and passing up someone who you really could have connected with.
