Question: Is it legal to be dating while separated?

As long as you are living apart, and abide by any legal agreements, dating while separated is legal. A separation is not the same as a divorce because you are legally married to your spouse, regardless of the duration of your separation period.

Is it OK to date while legally separated?

The key element looked at by the court is “separation” – that is the unequivocal and clearly communicated decision to end the relationship. This question borders on the realm of relationship advice not legal advice. In short, there is no legal restriction on dating.
