[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. I was separated for 2 years in the same house. Divorce took that long. COVID hit as divorce as final. I stayed in the house until I found a house to buy. That was another 18 months. So, yes, I was in the house even after the divorce.

You do not have to move to be separated. You can figure out permanent housing and then move. Or sell the house and both move.[/quote]

OP here.  Did you have kids?  I know VA has strict laws regarding being separated under the same roof.  Did you follow all of them for two years?  That's a long time.  How did you handle bills, etc?  Separate accounts?[/quote]

Yes. I have kids. Yes, we followed all of the rules. Yes, we had separate accounts. No, it was not hard. We had been living like that a long time. Our huge was huge and that helped. We were rarely home at the same time. It was not hard. Also, as long as you agree you are separated and have someone sign an affadavit that you are living separate in the same house, no one questions anything. It is all paperwork.

One thing I learned in my divorce is that you can agree to anything you want and no one will question you if that PSA is signed. No one cares about your divorce. People seem to think a judge will care about x, y, z. If there is signed paperwork submitted, there are no questions asked. I wish I had known that to begin with rather than giving myself anxiety about it.[/quote]
