Knowing the state you live would be helpful :) There are some states that have laws against adultery. Technically, if you live with someone else while you are still legally married, then it would be adultery. There are no doubt laws still "on the books" in some states that pertain to the issue of adultery, but given the general atmosphere of today's society they would not be subject to prosecutory actions. It would however give the other spouse a strong argumen for whatever he sought concerning the dissolution of the marriage; such as custody of minor children, spousal maintenance, and so forth.
Being separated means that the married couple is no longer living in the same household anymore - while it is perhaps not illegal, it is not very wise as the soon to be ex spouse could state that you are having an 'affair', and possibly use that as additional context why your marriage broke apart in the first place.
Wisest move is to not move in with another woman until after your final divorce decree is said in court - until then, you are, lawfully, still married!
yes... what would ever make you think otherwise?
Absolutely not. You would still be married to your first spouse and your remarriage would be invalid. You cannot be legally remarried while you are still married to your spouse. Papers "about to be signed" are not signed and carry no legal significance whatsoever. You are not divorced until the judge signs the decree and it is entered into the record.

Yes, but your current spouse has much stronger grounds for divorce. So, it's legal, but incredibly stupid.
He married in another state and didn't know he was still legally married to someone else
You are the "spouse" until you are no longer legally married.
While the divorce is pending, the spouse is still the spouse, and the legal status does not change. On the day that the divorce is granted, the spouse is no longer the spouse, and reverts to non-related.
No. Your second marriage is not legal. In fact, in the United States a married person who knowingly marries again while still married to their first spouse commits bigamy. You need to obtain a legal divorce to dissolve your first marriage.
Not if you are still married.
In US law you can only be legally married to one person at at a time. In most cases the first marriage is considered legal; and any subsequent marriage while still married to the original spouse, is considered invalid.
Yes you can. However, you should consider filing for divorce instead. A legal separation means you would still be married. If you stay married and you die, he would be your surviving spouse and would inherit all or some of your property by law. You would be his surviving spouse if he died.You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your rights, obligations and options.Yes you can.

No, as long as he & his x-spouse are divorced. Then it is fine.
Most states lean toward Joint Legal Custody with primary residential custody
