Dear hopeful:
Greetings. My general answer is no because adultery is a crime in North Carolina. Now, dating after the date of separation may also affect some alimony claims or alimony awards, if cohabitation is involved. Other than adultery, cohabitation, criminal conversation, and possibly alienation of affection issues, I cannot think of any other legal ramifications during the separation period at this time. Thank you.
