Dating During Divorce – It’s Not About Whether You Date… It’s How It Affects Your Divorce #divorce

Dating during divorce, sometimes there's been a cheating incident, but sometimes there's not that, but then someone starts dating someone during the mediation process, and we see people's attitudes can definitely change.

It's a very painful process, and, you know, people do move on once they've decided they're getting divorced. It can definitely harm the mediation. You start bringing in, you know, other significant others before you have a parenting plan and a settlement in place, and it can make people really dig their heels in.

Like, if you're trying to limit the amount of money— like, the person dating someone's trying to say, hey, I don't have the money to pay for that amount of spousal support or child support, or I can't pay for the preschool myself. But at the same time, the other parent's thinking, well, you have enough money to be going out on these dates that I see you posting on Instagram.

Do you advise them to not date or Or to keep it more private.

What's best for the mediation is to keep all that stuff in, in a box.

Private.
