What are the laws regarding dating after filing for divorce? I filed for divorce six months ago and began dating (I have children). I would like to know the legal ramifications regarding this subject.

Re: Dating after filing for divorce

In the "real life" / "real time" world we live in today, one is hard-pressed to imagine there being any significance to this "circumstance" - - UNLESS some component / aspect of your divorce included pleadings or attestations to your never-waning loyalty & committment to the marriage.

Nevertheless, there is always much to be said about the advisability of 'discretion'.

Good luck.
