to britexpat:
if your legally separated then you can have a new relationship BUT you cannot re marry...if you have children in this new relationship...this would REALLY complicate things...cuz although a person is legally separated from his/her former spouse/family he still has some legal obligations to the "first/old" family...so the "new" child would have to take a back seat when it comes to "obligations" cus the primary responsibility is the "first" family.

i know...it's a "flawed" system...but that's it
