One word of advice - keep your dating quiet until the ink is dry on the divorce papers. I know it seems absurd but sometimes the WAS goes a little crazy when they see you dating and then decide to put a spanner in the works of the divorce. Just don't give him any opportunity.
Glad to see you are optimistic about the future. Remember though - when it comes to dating SHOP AROUND. And don't expose your kid to your dates until a minimum of 6 months in. They don't need to get attached to your dates and then experience more loss if it doesn't work out. You want to wait until you have a sense this relationship is likely to go somewhere long term before involving your child.
