Separation and Dating

[aznbelle]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama

I recently started seeing a man that is going through a divorce.

She left him, got a new house, and took the kids. They have full joint custody of their children. Both parties signed the divorce papers and was waiting for the 30 day period to end, she has now stopped the divorce due to wanting full custody.

We NEVER spoke or saw eachother prior to their separation. If by chance she has found about me, will that make his case look bad in court?

I never spend any time with him when he has his kids. But when he doesn't, can he date me? Can she make a case out of that? What is the definition of separation? Are their any rules to dating?? Maybe I should also let everyone know that he is almost 10 years older than me. And we work together.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

He's a married man until divorced. That means any intimate relationships you have are adultery. See, for example, [url=http://www.divorcewizards.com/Adultery-and-Divorce.html]Adultery and Divorce[/url].

Now, you said they signed the divorce papers. Were they signed off by the judge, as well? If so, she's not going to be able to make anything of it. If they weren't signed by the judge, she can raise a ruckus, but that's likely to do little more than make the separation painful rather then change the ultimate outcome (she may dig her heels in and your bf may feel that he has to give up more property in order to get her to accept the settlement).

It should not affect custody as long as you continue to not spend the night, not act like a mother, and stay low profile (you should be gone well before the kids get ready for bed, for example).
