Yes if it was an amibicale divorce. Some divorces are really bad the couple fights like cats & dogs to get what each other wants. Yo can if see each other there is nothing illegal about that. If it works for the two of you go for it.

My ex and I have remained friends....we were married for 25 years and divorced now for 7. At first, we were in contact a lot because we still had a minor child, but as time went on and he remarried, we haven't spoken for sometime, but if I were to call him today, we would be on a friendly basis. If you want to date your ex, it's perfectly fine, I know of couples that end up remarrying after a divorce. It's not bad or illegal, your ex is no different than any other person you might be seeing. Just keep in mind why you divorced in the first place and don't fall into the trap of going thru this all over again.

Of course you can remain friends! I am divorced and my Ex and I are best friends. There is nothing I would not do for him. If he needs me I'm there and the same with him. We both have new mates and we get along extremely well. At first it was a little difficult but it all worked out. It's wonderful.
Some people are just so hateful after a bad marriage. Instead of forgiving and forgetting they carry that hate with them and the end result is everyone involved suffers for it. Mostly children. They should remember that at one time they LOVED that person very much and if it did not work out GET OVER IT and remain friends. I would not have it any other way. Good Luck

It's not illegal to be a friend to someone. If you can divorce on good terms, I don't find a problem with continuing to be friends it doesn't mean the friendship has to end up in the bedroom.
Now why get a divorce if your still going to be friends in a intimate way, you could have just stayed married.
Divorce means a finish to the marriage and relationship and yes grown adults can be friends just without the benefits.

Yes, two people can remain friends after the divorce. It just takes some "work" on it, as all relationships do. I separated from my husband in 95' and my divorce was final in 00'....and now...we are the best of friends.....and can actually hold a conversation.....and most importantly.....we have become friends.

some relationships cause the other person to feel strong resentment.
You can be friendly.... meaning polite and showing respect but to be real friends is trusting them to keep your confidences and being loyal to each other .... also implies they have attachment to your heart. If you and the ex are close like that then why did you guys divorce? Divorce implies something wasn't right in the marriage...

I've been divorced 12 years and I am on good terms with my ex.
Of course it was an amicable split.
Also for 5 years after the divorce we would occasionally hook-up for very satisfying sex.
I've said it before "Ex-sex" is the most stressfree sex. You're not fumbling around worrying if the other person likes it because you know where, when and how hard to do something.

You don't have to hate each other. Some divorces are very amicable. You can see each other, you can be friends, all of it. It's only not a good idea if one person doesn't want to stay close. It's certainly not illegal.

I think it would depend on the reason for the divorce and if it was a mutual breakup. If it was one sided then odds are the other person will have many unresolved issues which can prevent such a friendship from forming.

It depends from the level of maturity they have. It's very difficult if strong emotions were involved and there is a deep sense of loss. It might happen but I don't believe it because if two people are so mature, why could not work out their problems? There's nothing illegal to see your ex......but friendship....mhmmmmhhh
