        In South Carolina, an uncontested divorce does not exist.  What you are probably referring to is the one year separation as grounds for divorce.  In those cases, the fact that you have been separated for at least a year is the only grounds that have to be proven to be granted a divorce.  To answer your question, the divorce must be final before you get involved with another person, live with another person, date, etc.  If you do any of these things before the divorce is final, your spouse could change the grounds for divorce and allege adultery, because legally you are still married.
