Why would you want to do this?

I would strongly recommend that you don't make any kind of committment to each other until after the divorce is finalized--unless you wanna be in your partner's soon-to-be-ex's shoes a year from now. It's just going to make things even messier because divorces are complicated enough as it is! If you guys have found each other, and you really love each other, than I think that's great. But who said that you have to rush into marriage right away? Wait a while, you have the rest of your lives to do this. And have you considered maybe going through marriage counseling? That probably wouldn't be a bad idea. This marriage ended for a reason, what that is, I don't know, but you guys don't want to make the same mistake. So please, keep the divorce rate down here in the U.S (It's up to 65% now, can you believe it?) and think this through before you make any hasty decisions!

Personally, I thought it would be best if you waited for a while for them to get over their previous relationship. I mean not knowing the details of your relationship, it is hard to tell how well you know him or how long you have known him and such, however, the best thing would be to wait. Something just doesn't seem right when a person is getting a divorce in one hand and is already considering their next marriage in the other. Seems fairly unfaithful to me..and that person is NOT your partner...he is STILL married until the divorce is final.

Nowadays nobody really cares so yes, along at that is as far as it goes. You cannot get married til your divorce is final. Getting engaged this quick will reinforce any thoughts that anyone had about adultery during the marriage but if you dont mind what anyone else thinks then go for it. Congrats and good luck

Yes, but it would be tacky to do the engagement thing. Wait until after the divorce is final. By announcing an engagement could lead to mucho problems when the divorce is presented to the courts!

I would wait until the marriage is over & the divorce complete. His partner could nail him for adultery and if there is any property settlements to negotiate that might hamper the proceedings a bit. Also if there are children involved, you need to show alittle more tact and sensitivity in that area.

Not really a good idea to do so until the divorce is final.... If you get engaged before it is final they can get you for adultery just to let you know.

Yes because an engagement isn't legally binding like marriage

Sure if you want to risk being co-respondent in a divorce.
Nice to see there's someone in the wings . . . the divorcee-to-be need not put down or examine his/her baggage from the last marriage he/she just hauls it all into the next one. WOW, now there's really an intelligent move!
We'll be seeing questions from you in the future I suspect.

WHOA! slow down! You only live an average of 27,000 days in a life time, and it only takes less then 365 of those to complete a divorce, WAIT UNTIL IT"S DONE!

Only you know if the timing is right, but my guess is it would be better to wait until that's all over with. It seems more appropriate to start your life together when the slate is clean.
