Dating During Divorce: Can You vs. Should You?

Can you date while your divorce is pending? Maybe. But the more important question may be whether you should.

Jarrod Oxendine and Christine Palmer discuss how dating during divorce can complicate an already emotional process. From increasing tension with your spouse and making negotiations more difficult to creating questions about finances, parenting time, and judgment, a new relationship can have consequences that extend beyond your personal life. 

They also cover some of the biggest mistakes to avoid if you do decide to date, including flaunting a new relationship, spending marital funds on a new partner, and introducing your children to someone before the divorce is final. 

Jarrod and Christine also explain why children may need time to adjust even after the divorce is over, and why introducing a new partner slowly and thoughtfully can help protect both your children and your new relationship.
