Can you get divorced but still live in the same house?
It is often common for a husband and wife to separate but continue to live together under the same roof. Often this is for a short period of time, however it is also not uncommon for spouses to remain living together in the same home for months or sometimes even years following separation.
What is Birdnesting?
For some divorcing or divorced parents, the answer is ‘nesting’ (also called ‘birdnesting’). This means to keep the family residence intact as a home where both parents rotate living with their children, while otherwise dwelling in separate residences.
Do both husband and wife have to agree to divorce?
Generally, the divorce papers do not need signatures from both parties to move forward. There is little need to ensure that the other spouse is in agreement to end the marriage legally. However, if both spouses are amenable to the process, it can permit both to progress through the divorce amicably.
