Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

vol. separation without a separation agreement

If my wife and i seperate (she moves out to another address) and we are looking at divorcing after the year. Is it legally okay to date others even though a seperation agreement hasn't been signed by either of us. basically can either of us see someone else once we are no longer living together?

Re: vol. separation without a separation agreement

Dating before thye divorce is final.

Adultery is adultery even if it post separation. If you have a separation agreement and agree to live your own lives therafter, you can date but I would advise against entering into a sexual relationship until after the divorce.
