Don't date him. That is one step away from adultery. He is still married. Legally separated means that they have two distinct residences for each of them. He probably has to pay her some form of support similar to what would be awarded in a divorce especially if they are a one income family. As a husband, he is required by law to provide for her needs. She comes first legally whether he likes it or not.
If you really want to date him, then wait for the divorce.

Legally seperated? Means they are in the process of drumming up a divorce but just haven't gotten to that point yet. Not legally seperated? Beware, that's just like taking a break from your boyfriend. I dated a man that was seperated (he told me he was divorced) and had 2 kids. If you are ok with the kids always coming first then i don't see a problem with it. But if you are looking at things for the long term then you might want to think a little deeper about it. I mean i guess it depends how long he has been seperated but after finalizing a divorce he may not be ready to get married again or even stick it out in a serious relationship. Have you tried talking about it with him? What does he think? Good luck! I hope your situation turns out better than mine...we broke up, the bastard

If he has moved out from his ex wife then it is fine to date him. If he lives at home and makes any excuse why he is still there then he is lying through his teeth and is still with his wife and is just trying to get you to be his lover.
He might be genuine, if you have met his 2 kids and he has introduced you as a special friend then he is definetly seperated. Kids will tell their mums if they meet any girls while out with dad.
Sometimes people don't divorce for a long time because it might cost alot or they think they will never remarry so there really isnt a need to go through it.

He's on the rebound if he's separated. That doesn't mean any papers have even been filed. I wouldn't get involved, especially with kids involved. They are already going through a lot.

I'm not sure about if it's okay. I guess you have to make that one yourself. Separated means that you are not quite divorce but you are taking time away from your wife/husband.

I wouldn't date him. Separated is when the couple have legal papers drawn up to live apart; they are still married.
RUN!!!
