Can I Date During my Divorce?

Posted By Law Office of Kathryn Marteeny || 15-Feb-2019

Divorce, first and foremost, is the end of a relationship you likely imagined would last a significant amount of time. The loneliness that follows is one of the most immediate feelings you will face, which is why so many people are quick to find a new partner. Filling this void can help you move on, but it can also complicate your divorce beyond measure. Our Houston divorce attorneys of the Law Office of Kathryn Marteeny have seen far too many divorces veer off course because one spouse grows increasingly jealous of the other’s dating life.

While there is no legal obligation requiring you to stay single throughout your divorce, and while it is certainly not our suggestion for you to prevent a new love from blossoming, there are several important points to consider before diving into a new relationship. The first thing to consider is whether there are children involved, and if dating someone will affect your child custody, child support, or visitation order. If you and your ex-spouse are not on positive terms, he or she may use your dating life as a reason for you being an unfit parent.

Another way in which dating can affect your divorce outcome is if you are expecting any financial support, such as alimony. Your ex-spouse may refuse to agree with your terms because of your relationship.

Divorces happen for a reason and they open the door for both parties to explore other options, but it might be best to take your time before being public about your relationship.
