Dating during legal separation is possible but requires careful consideration of legal implications
While technically allowed, dating during legal separation can have significant consequences for your divorce proceedings in Canada. Legal separation does not automatically give you freedom to date without potential repercussions.
- Your spouse may cite dating activities as evidence of adultery in divorce proceedings
- Dating could impact negotiations regarding property division and support payments
- Written agreements with your spouse about dating during separation can provide protection
- New relationships may complicate the emotional and legal aspects of your separation
It’s strongly recommended to consult with a family law professional before pursuing new relationships during your separation period. They can advise on specific risks and protections based on your situation.
