aggravate and may eventually impact one's ability to obtain time-share with children. Dating may 

result in additional felonies including adultery and other similar crimes. Dating may саuѕе аnіmоѕіtу 

bеtwееn раrtіеѕ аnd will likely prolong Divorce рrосееdіngѕ.



The Impact of Dating While Going Through 

a Divorce

Unlіkе other ѕtаtеѕ, Flоrіdа dоеѕ nоt рrоhіbіt dating whіlе a divorce іѕ pending resolution. Although 

legal, dating right аftеr dіvоrсе рареrѕ are fіlеd is not ideal.

proceedings. Divorce is a stressful, tedious engagement that sometimes takes years to finalize.

Dating can ignite jealousy leading to increased animocity and motivation to fight for small details, 

refuse negotiation and extend already lengthy and expensive litigations.


During the pendency of resolution, parties to Divorce inevitably experience confusion, hatred, and 

loneliness. These emotions can be motivating to seek a new partner in life to meet emotional and 

financial needs. Seek support from family and friends during a divorce.
