Dating During Divorce

  1. It may prolong the divorce.
  2. It may increase attorneys’ fees litigating issues of dissipation also known as community waste.
  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.
  8. It may damage your relationship with the other party increasing tension and conflict.
  9. It may not be healthy for you to go from one relationship to the next until you work on yourself to heal emotionally.
  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.
