Dating During Divorce

  3. It may increase discovery including but not limited to obtaining records of text messages, phone records, bank, credit card records, etc.
  4. Private investigators may be hired.
  5. It may create issues resolving parenting time and decision making.
  6. It may strain relationships with your children.
  7. The children may not be ready for new relationships.

  10. It may lead to impulsive decisions by both parties.
  11. All cases and situations are different, and as such, you should discuss the issue of dating during your divorce with your attorney preferably before you start.
