What is the shortest amount of time for a divorce?
Assuming the divorce petition was filed correctly, if a divorce is uncontested then in some states it can be finalized in as little as 60 days. Other states have a cooling off period which means a divorce could still take six months or longer. Once papers are filed, a spouse must be served with a copy of the complaint.

Is it cheating if you date while separated?

Under s. 11(2) of the Divorce Act, an act of adultery or cruelty that has been condoned cannot be used as a ground for divorce. As long as you’re married, having sex with someone who isn’t your spouse counts as adultery. If you’re separated at the time however, no one except your in-laws or the Pope is going to care.
