It depends what state you live in (i.e. whether it's a community property state or not), as well as how the house is titled.
AnswerUnless there is a legally documented separation notice posted (like in a news paper) that states He or She will no longer be financially responsible for or associated with their spouse, the spouse will own 1/2 of the house.Maybe.
Property acquired during the marriage in a community property state would be considered jointly owned but not so in non community property states, where the titling determines ownership.
A legal separation is as binding as the actual dissolution, a voluntary separation is not.
The purpose of a separation agreement is to finalize the distribution of assets and property and custodial issues.
A matter such as the one cited would have to be decided by the judge who rules on the dissolution petition.
Property purchased or assets received by a spouse after a legal separation has been validated are not considered jointly owned whether the estranged couple live in a CP state or not.
The best option is to consult a qualified attorney before taking any action on the matter.

You're kidding, right? If you are still married, you can not legally marry another! No one cares if you have a divorce in progress or not. It's like being pregnant; you are either married (can't legally marry another) or you or divorced. There is no in between.
Nothing. the law recognizes the legal husband as the legal father of the child.

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.

Your spouse can not legally remarry if he/she is already married. The "remarriage" is invalid and of no effect. A person who knowingly marries while still legally married commits bigamy in the United States.
Legally separated generally means you are still legally married but living apart. In the eyes of the law, adultery can still occur during a legal separation because the marriage is still legally recognized. It is advisable to check the specific laws in your jurisdiction.

Of course not. You are still married while you are "going through" a divorce. Your marriage has not been legally dissolved until a divorce decree is entered into the record. In the Western World a person can only be legally married to one person at a time. If you want to remarry, you must end your existing marriage legally otherwise any subsequent marriage is simply invalid. If you knowingly marry again while still married to your first spouse you commit bigamy.
