Technically yes. It is illegal to be married to two people (that is bigamy). And the fact that you have been legally separated, although a distinct legal status, means that you are STILL MARRIED. You are able to get engaged (because you are technically single) but you should be aware that being separated is not being divorced.
No. Louisiana relationship law bans relationships, as opposed to the rest of the country where relationship law does not exist.
if you love them, then go for it!!
AnswerUntil you are legally divorced you cannot legally marry someone else.
If you are legally separated, you are free to see other people. South Carolina divorce does use adultery as one of the grounds options, but dating while you are separated is not adultery.
If husband is living with someone else but we are still married and not legally separated is property acquired by me subject to division in the state of Ohio?
* If you are legally separated then no, you are not cheating by sleeping with someone else, but remember ... she could be doing the same thing.
Getting engaged is a promise of marriage but I don't think it's illegal. Even so- Do the right thing for your new partner and get yourself a divorce!!.
No, she is not engaged.
First, "cheating" is not a legal term. It is slang that refers to a married person being unfaithful to their legal spouse or partner. A legal separation is not a legal divorce. Having an intimate relationship with someone other than your legal spouse is adultery. If you wish to do that legally you should get a divorce.
You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in family law as soon as possible. You are still legally married even if you are "legally" separated. That means if either dies the other would be their legal heir, and each has certain legal responsibilities where the other is concerned. If your marriage is over (as it would seem if your spouse is living with a new partner) you should take the necessary steps to end it legally so that you can move on with your life and find someone who wants to share their life with you.
No. An engagement is a promise to marry. In many jurisdictions an engagement is a legal commitment with the possibility of legal consequences if the engagement is broken. A married woman cannot make a legal promise to marry someone else. She is not free to marry until she has legally dissolved her existing marriage.
