Dating during divorce may not render you the best outcome in your situation. You can try to rationalize so many ways but the reality is you can’t unless it’s an Uncontested divorce and it’s near the end. I understand that in cases where the divorce has been dragging on for years, where your spouse cheated several times, where you get lonely, etc. But if you’re expecting a property distribution, spousal support or alimony and most importantly, child custody then hold off on having coffee with the “hot guy” may be wise.
