Judge Says Fantasia Was (Technically) Not a Homewrecker

December 23rd, 2010 - By Demetria Irwin

Between her married lover, an abortion, a suicide attempt and her ever-present family drama, Fantasia probably can’t wait for 2010 to be over, but she finally got a little bit of good news by way of a judge’s ruling in her former lover’s divorce proceedings.

The judge presiding over her ex’s divorce trial said that the date of his legal separation was September of 2009. That means that Fantasia was technically not a “homewrecker” when she began her relationship with him.  With this ruling, Fantasia may have just dodged a   multi-million dollar alienation of affection lawsuit that North Carolina’s laws allow wronged spouses to charge.

Got all that? Probably not. Read more about it here.

What’s your view on dating a man who is married, but separated? Some people never divorce and just live separate lives for years. Would you ever knowingly date a man whose marriage seems to be strictly on paper?

    FANTASIA SHOULD SUE PUALA COOK FOR DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER!

    It is not for us to judge Fantasia because God will be the ultimate judge. Would I date a separated man–maybe depending on the situation (awaiting the final court date vs. just moved out yesterday). Just remember what goes around comes around.

  • Where's my comm

    I've been approached by separated, unhappily married, and (according to him) happily married men and I've told them all "no". If the situation is "that bad" get a divorce and when you're SINGLE

    Fantasia may not be a homewrecker but her actions were stupid. How the hell do you, in this day and age, get pregnant by someone knowing you don't want a child with this person? There's too many birth control alternatives to prevent pregnancy rather than an abortion. Also, how do you "try to kill yourself" one week, then next week promote your album all over the media? Then holler about you want privacy, yet you have a reality show? I don't get it but I'm sure she's glad it's over.

    @Tre

    I agree with your point of view.

  • Camille

    No, I would not date a separated man. He is still MARRIED! I just hope that this shameful travesty will wake up the older women to start doing more to reinforce to these younger women who they are as women and that they don't have to constantly sell themselves short for the attention of a man. This whole Fantasia story is sickening. I really pray for her daughter Zion. Poor thing.

    I have dated a seprated man an the divorce matters! If the papers havent been signed then there is a real reason why ??? ! Dont do it I am happily married now but if we ever separted I am praying neither one of us drag others into our mess until it si completely over… during the time that the divorce needs to happen both parties have these months to find themself an do some serious future soul searching.

  • Cher

    I am happy Tasia dodged that bullet. It has been a bitter sweet year for her. I hope she learns from her mistake. As for dating a "separated" man…..never, because he is still married. There is no technicality there unless you are technically dating a married man! If she/he wants to date do the right thing and get a divorce.

  • M.Time

    Why keep ties to someone if you don't want them? Even for financial or kids reasons. It just says that persons either way is not ready to move on. NOPE!

  • Kimmy

    Married but separated has too many gray lines. I understand that it may take time to finallize the divorce depending on the circumstances (children, money, debt, etc.), but I don't understand why people stay legally married on paper for years on in when it's over. I find it's just easier to not date anyone in this category. You must be single and free if you want to date me!

  • NappyCentric

    I couldn't date someone that is still married–separated or not. Separation is just that. It's not a divorce. That person is technically still your husband or wife. You both can make up and get back together anytime.

    So, I wouldn't date a separated man.
