[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- I live in a state where separation is not a prerequisite for divorce. 
I don't want to just separate finances because I don't want to be responsible for his debt should there be any (he is prone to living beyond his means and while he used to let me work out the budget, he now wants to make a lot of decisions I don't agree with- and I am tired of arguing). 
There are other issues, too- I want to be separate from him in as many ways as possible. [b]I just think that staying in the house will help us have better living conditions, keep the semblance of normalcy to our son[/b], and save us some money. [/quote]

How normal will it be for your son when one or both of you start dating, having overnight visitors, etc?

I think having your divorced parents living together but living separate lives would be much more damaging and confusing to your child than just doing things the traditional way and living apart.[/quote]

I disagree.

I have a friend who did just that.  And neither the mother or father brought home who they were dating. They lived divorced and under the same roof for 7 years until the mom remarried and moved 3 blocks away so the kids could stay in the same school district and walk from house to house.  Their two separate families are close to this day. There was no real custody agreement. They continued to co-parent under the same roof. It is ideal, but ONLY reserved for extremely healthy people.[/quote]
