If you're already living separately, it's probably fine. Whatever factors are being considered as causes for the divorce are things that happened prior to the filing. If there are children involved, though, you need to be sensitive to their confusion during this change.

Any person I have seen start dating before a divorce is final, almost always regrets it. Something about when that piece of paper comes officially all stamped and legal, you get into a bit of a depression, regardless of how long you've been separated, or why you got divorced. And that affects any current relationship you have going on.
Sometimes, a separation/divorce is a good way to learn to like yourself again and get yourself back on your feet. You are not defined by your relationship status. Take care of yourself before you add the stress of dating again.
And here's the disclaimer...it's different for everyone.

My Mom and I had this conversation. She thinks a person should wait until a divorce is final before dating. I say, if the marriage is over in your heart, there's no need to wait for the court to issue you the legal papers.

If you are legally separated, yes....if there are children involved, very very bad idea. And it is far too soon to see anyone. Get your head on straight before you inflict more damage to yourself and others. Settle down...you do not need to be seeing other people until you figure out what the heck you did wrong with the mess you have now. OR perhaps you want to marry and divorce again?

Well, this all depends. Are you legally seperated?Do you have the seperation papers in your hands? Do you still live in the same household? If you still live with your spouse, the answer is no!! If you are legally seperated than you do what you want!! It could take a few years to get those darn divorce papers in your hands. The biggest step is for the couple to move out and get those legal seperation papers. Then everything else follows.

It depends. If there is nothing to fight about, ie money or kids then go for it. Otherwise it can be considered marital misconduct, allthough not as serious as when residing together, but then try and convince the judge that it only started after the seperation, or that it had not occured before. In any case be discreet, there is no need to advertise.

Yes! A divorce can take up to two years, depending on the situation.

You could but things might get really messy. Plus you need to check your state laws. If ya'll have lots of stuff to split you might lose credability if you move on w/o being officially divorced.

No, wait til it's done and gone. You will feel better about it, so will your children; you also won't be misrepresenting yourself to dates.
