In-House Separation During Divorce

One of the hardest things to handle during a divorce is the physical separation. But sometimes you must pursue a divorce without the ability to physically separate initially. Whether for financial reasons or "for the kids," sometimes you will find yourself divorcing, but still living together.

If you are contemplating divorce, most attorneys will advise you not to leave the family home. Doing so could be considered "abandonment." But living with your soon-to-be-ex-spouse can be difficult. What if he or she starts dating while you're still living together? How do you handle the finances while you're "separated"? What will the neighbors think?

During difficult economic times, there are also numerous couples who finalize the divorce but continue to live together. This is very common in situations where the house is still for sale, and the spouses can't afford to find another place to live until the house sells. Another challenge is the cost of the divorce itself -- litigated divorces cost, on average, $15,000. Can you afford that? (Collaborative divorce can be less expensive than litigated divorce.)
