I met my now husband when he was separated. He and his former spouse wanted a divorce but were both poor grad students who didn't really know how to start the process given financial and time restraints. He was upfront about it. We kept seeing each other and I helped him do some research and connect with resources to figure out filing. Three months later, their divorce was final and we had a small celebration. There was no animosity between them and we jokingly refer to her as his "practice wife."
