Best Answer

An engagement is not required or controlled, so one person (or both) being married is not a problem until you apply for the marriage license. On the other hand, if your intended is still married, you may want to consider whether they are really ready for a new committed relationship that hopefully will last longer then their current one. Time and patience might be good friends to you here.

No. In the United States you can only be legally married to one person. If you wish to marry another, you must end your marriage via a court decree through a divorce procedure.

If you married a person who was already married your "marriage" would have no legal effect whatsoever. You would remain unmarried.

Can you get engaged while still married but you have been separated for 7 months?

Of course you can! "Engaged" means that you are planning to marry someone. You can plan to re-marry even though you are married to someone else. Answer: Engagement is just a promise or statement of intent. It has no real legal standing or requirement. It would, however, be good to let the "intended" know that you're waiting for the divorce. If being engaged shows an intent to enter into a contract. Then (where polygamy is illegal) you are also showing wilful intent to breach your current contract of marriage to the person you are currently married to if you have not filed for divorce. I am sure this would have legal implications on financial settlements and child custody arrangements. There are also etiquette questions about announcing an engagement before a divorce is final. It might be considered rather tacky to announce you are engaged to someone else while still married to a current spouse.

If someone is still legally married but separated is he single?

Think about the question you just asked. If you are still legally married - then you are still legally married. You can not be single and married at the same time. Separation is not divorce. In order to be single, you must get a divorce. ---- And, even if divorced, you're not single. You're either a Divorcee (female) or a Grass Widower (male).
