getting a divorce doesn't mean that you are no longer married. you are still legally married. Cheating is only if the wife doesn't know and you both are together as a couple. Of course if you are getting a divorce, chances are you are not living in the same house. In that instance it would not be cheating since you and her have separated and parted your own ways until the divorce is final. The proper thing to do is wait until its final. Makes it better for everyone and then you wont have to ask this question. |

Personally, I would wait until after your divorce is finalized. |

Yes, and an attorney would advise you not to until the divorce is final. Also, it is not a good idea to get into another relationship until you have been divorced for awhile, to heal and grow. Otherwise, you are likely to choose another guy who is not good for you.

it's cheating until the divorce is final . . my cusin got caught and his ex-wife used it in the divorce hearing against him |

Legally and morally, yes, but - I don't, personally, think it's a terrible thing to do when the divorce is a certainty and all you're doing is waiting for the paperwork to go through.
Still - I've always thought that the time following a divorce is when a person most needs to be alone, to concentrate on themselves and what they want out of life. To throw yourself back into the ring isn't giving you time to sort out what happened to the last relationship and you risk repeating your mistakes again and again and again. |

Most people will tell you yes it is considered cheating. My husband's divorce wasn't final when we started dating but he had been seperated for 2 years. He said he didnt feel like he was cheating because the marriage was over and he didn't love her anymore. You'll get called alot of names on here for this question, but you do what you feel is right in your heart. |

If you are getting divorced and it's not final.. it's not cheating, but it is technically still adultery until everything's been finalized. |

It can be held against you in court if there is a battle of any kind. Other than that I don't know if it would be considered adultery. |

Getting a divorce and being divorced are 2 different things. You're still a married man. Would you consider any married person that sleeps with someone else besides their spouse a cheater? |

To me, no. Just tell your girlfriend or whatever that your divorce isn't final. I think marriage ends the moment you decide for sure to get a divorce. Marriage isn't a piece of paper, after all, it's a relationship. If the relationship is over, then it's over whether the divorce is final or not. But if it makes you feel better, wait. |

In the eyes of the law yes. I do not agree. If you are still living together though there are moral issues with that, but then agian there are with divorce as well. If you and your soon to be ex are really done then what difference does it make! |

it all depends on who you talk to. MY ex son in law would say yes. They are in the middle of a divorce and my daughter moved on and hes obessed with it. Me if there are pares filed then no youre not because then end has already been filed. |

Well if you really want to be technical than yes, it would be cheating. You are still married, even if you are gettign a divorce, since it isn't final yet.
But on the other hand, if you are gettign a divoirce it is over with your wife, you can begin to date or sleep around again. It is over, only the break up is going to take a little longer, and be a whole lot uglier! |

Well, if your not living with him i don't see the problem, unless your come from a religious family then yes it would be. |

No. You are getting divorced and so basically you are just working on the paperwork. I would go on with my life if I were you. |

The only question is are you separated? If you are and all you are waiting for is the final decree then no it is not cheating. If you are still living together then yes it is. |

Depends on your definition of "cheating". My personal feeling is that you can "cheat" only if there was committment, regardless of whether legal marriage is involved or not. When the two people get separated and file for divorce - the committment is off. I don't see how it can be "cheating" if you're not in a relationship any longer. |

Lord no. It may have legal ramifications if you live in a "fault" state however. Ask your lawyer. |

I would not consider it cheating if you are no longer living with your soon-to-be ex husband. |

Yes it is considered as cheating to sleep with someone else while you are getting a divorce, at least it is in my state.
When I was in the process of getting my divorce, both of our lawyers told us that we were NOT to be with anyone else UNTIL the divorce was OVER. Here we have a 6 month waiting period from the time that you ask for it and until it is over with. The 6 months waiting period is to make sure that is what you want to do. Even if both parties DO NOT want to stay married any longer to each other, we have to wait. If you don't wait and you are caught with another, then the soon to be x spouse can file charges against you for adultery. |

If you're sure your marriage is over and your conscious is clear about it, then I would think no, it isn't cheating. |
