An engagement isn't some sort of legal document like a marriage licence so you can get engaged before the divorce gets through. But getting married before the divorce gets through, well we all know that one:-P

cd206 agony auntYes its fine to be engaged before the divorce is final as long as you don't start planning your wedding until the decree absolute is in place. However try to be a little sensitive of his ex wife etc.
