Is it OK to date when you are separated?
While there is no law barring you from dating while separated, you should be careful not to do anything your ex and his lawyer can use against you. Certainly consult with your divorce attorney.
What happens if one person doesn’t want a divorce?
The court needs to agree to grant the divorce, not the other person in the marriage. As long as the necessary financial and legal issues get resolved, the divorce can be completed with one person never agreeing to it. However, the negotiation of these issues does offer a potential block to completing the divorce.
Do I have to get a divorce if I don’t want one?
You do not have to get a divorce when you separate unless you want to remarry, but staying married may affect your legal obligations. It is important to get legal advice if you are unsure of what you wish to do. To be able to get divorced you need to show that your marriage has ‘irretrievably broken down’.
