Typically speaking yes, living separately does help the validity of the case however if you live in Louisiana with your wife under her stepdad's roof he might demand she sign an "annulment" so under those circumstances yes you can be divorced and live under the same roof. To know for certain, I really need more info. Where you live, how long the mairrage has existed, etc. In most jurisdictions a petittion for divorce will be taken seriously if the two plaintiff's have separate addresses assuming it's a contested case. If neither party contests, it may still be possible. I've seen three cases in Nevada (between 1990 and 2002) where these circumstances applied and there were little problems. Bayouresearch@myway.com if you need to know more. If you are filing for a no-fault divorce (incompatibility/irreconcilable differences/irretrievable breakdown of the marriage/etc) some states do require that you be separated for a certain period time. However, it's possible that you might be considered 'separated' even if you still live in the same house, as long as you are not sharing a room/having sex. You need to check the laws for your specific state.
no
If you live in the US there is no such thing as common law divorce.
No matter how long you live apart, you're still married until you get a legal divorce.
Yes they will have to stay a year apart. Before they file for a divorce.
None required

It's OK for you to get together with your X any time you want to. But I don't think there is such a thing as a "temp marriage". You either are or you're not married. If you are thinking that you'll try it again by playing "married" for a while to see how it goes....it sounds like you still have issues. It might be better to resolve those before you cohabit ate again.AnswerGenerally, in most jurisdictions a couple who has filed for divorce is granted a Decree NISI. Under the NISI, there is a waiting period during which the decree is not absolute. In Massachusetts that waiting period is 90 days. If the couple gets back together during the NISI period the divorce decree is nullified. After 90 days, or, the NISI period, if the couple remained apart the decree becomes absolute. If the couple wishes to be married again they must be married legally, again. There is no such legal state as "temporarily married". Either you are married or you are not married. Many couples have a history of multiple marriages and divorces.
Technically yes because you have not had a divorce
Mindy Abair married guitarist/composer Jason Steele in April 2005. Reports began to surface in August 2012 that the couple had separated and that divorce was imminent. As of February 2015, neither has issued an official statement about a divorce.
If a married couple is separated, then they should always live apart.
In IL if you file for a no-fault divorce, the required separation period is 2 years. However, that can be reduced to 6 months if both parties are in agreement and sign a waiver form.
