Vetrano, Jr., Esq.

Since 2005, Mr. Vetrano has carried out every phase of litigation, including negotiated settlements, from filing through hearing or trial in the following areas of law:

Contested and uncontested (divorce) matrimonials

Legal separation

Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements

Child custody

Guardianship

Adoption

Child support

Spousal support

Dating After Divorce: Do You Really Have to be the Most Perfect Version of Yourself to Start Dating Again? With Relationship Expert Jennifer Hurvitz Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

"When is it okay to start dating after divorce?" is one of the questions I am asked on a pretty frequent basis, and just like there is no one-size-fits-all method to relationships, it's the same for dating after divorce. One of the most common myths about dating after divorce, however, is that you must be the most perfect version of yourself to start dating again, and we have relationship expert and dating coach Jennifer Hurvitz here to debunk that myth for you.

"Know your why," Jen shares, and also urges listeners to avoid seeking validation through the dating process. That's a big no-no in the dating after divorce playbook.

This episode of Moms Moving On will not only answer a lot of questions about dating after divorce for you, it will also make you feel totally comfortable to get back out there when you're ready.

Jennifer Hurvitz is known for her no-nonsense approach to all things relationships and is proud to say she's made quite the career out of pretty disastrous circumstances...her own divorce. She’s a Relationship Expert, Dating Coach, best- selling author, and host of the award-winning Doing Relationships Right Podcast. Divorced since 2014, Jennifer lives in Charlotte with her two awesome, college-bound sons.

Through her books and weekly podcast, Jennifer helps people understand what a happy relationship can look like and how to dip their toes back into the dating world post-divorce. Jen has been featured on OprahMagazine.com where her book, Woulda.Coulda.Shoulda: A Divorce Coach’s Guide to Staying Married was chosen as one of the BEST books to read with your partner for a healthy relationship!
