Yes. Chances are that the relationship was broken long before the separation. There are not laws that would prevent a person from dating. However it might have an impact on the outcome of the proceedings if either spouse decides to file for a dissolution of the marriage.

Is it ok to date other people while divorce papers are awaiting a judge's final decree?

When me an my ex-wife separated it was two more years before we finalized a divorce. We both dated people during that time. She was even pregnant with another guys baby and had it while we were still legally married - I had to put in the decree that I wasn't legally obligated to support the child, but other than that, the actual act of us dating/sleeping with other people didn't have any effect on the divorce. The reason for divorce on the papers reads: "separated for an extended period" or some such. Nothing about being unfaithful or anything like that since it all happend after the separation. Of course we were still kind of friends with each other, and didn't hate each other. I suppose one of us could have made it harder on the other if we had so chosen, but since we didn't even try going down that path I couldn't say one way or the other.AnswerI would wait, myself.
