Question
Does the courts by this I mean a Judge have the right to tell me I can't see a specific person in my divorce final settlement? What rights do I have about who I have relationships with after the divorce is final?
Dear Eric,
I have never heard of judge barring someone from seeing someone else after divorce, unless of course, there is a restraining order.
In many states there is a waiting period before one can remarry after the divorce, http://policy.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0200305165
Dating after divorce is completely with in your rights as you are now single. If you have children you may want consider how your new relationships will effect them- there's alot of info on line about dating after divorce...here's one place to start:http://www.askmen.com/dating/datingadvice/46_dating_tips.html.
I hope this was helpful.
