I'm not separated, or married for that matter. However, my parents were separated for many years of my life. They had a good relationship like that, but they nkew the marriage was over. My mom started seeing someone first. She didn't tell Dad right away, and when she did, it was an accident, she assumed he already knew. Dad didn't tell her he was seeing anybody until he had dated a couple different people and found one he was super serious about.
I'd say, tell them if you find someone serious. Because if you end up marrying that person, you'll need to finish the divorce at that point, so better not surprise them out of the blue that you guys need to finish all that.

Yes and No. It depends on a couple of things. Did you both agree to take time apart but try again down the road? If so then you really need to talk to your ex. If you both wanted to split up and start seeing other people then its really none of your ex's business. If you have kids together and you get serious with this girl/guy then your ex-wife/husband should know they will be around another female/male when they are with you but other than that I don't know the whole situation.

No. None of their business - I can't see what could possibly be gained by telling an ex.

If your separated then you on the market again. So it is a reason to figure out what you really want.

No, it wouldn't be their business (if we were separated, pending divorce). Just as I wouldn't care to know their personal business. Once we split up and decided to end it, I'd consider it no longer each other's right to be privvy to who we associated with or how we associated with them.

Technically you would be cheating until the divorce is final. It would certainly tell your office that the marriage is unsalvagable.

My mother had the same issue. She told my father straight away, to avoid any greif later on.

Nope. Your business is no longer their business.
