Dating During Divorce: Don’t Make This Costly Mistake During Litigation

In this can’t-miss episode of The Consultation, Board Certified family law attorneys Christina Jimenez and Josh Floyd tackle a question that can make or break a divorce case: Are you really single if you’re still legally married? Dating during divorce might feel like a fresh start — but in family court, it can quickly become ammunition. Christina and Josh pull back the curtain on what actually happens when a new relationship enters the picture while your case is pending. They discuss how dating can: • Trigger unnecessary conflict and prolong litigation • Damage your credibility in front of a judge • Impact custody and conservatorship determinations • Complicate property division and spousal support • Be weaponized through texts, photos, and social media • Shift negotiation power at the worst possible time This episode isn’t about judging your personal life — it’s about protecting your legal strategy. The emotional decision to “move on” can have very real financial and parental consequences. If you’re separated but your divorce isn’t final, listen before you swipe, post, introduce the kids, or book that vacation.
