For many couples, one of the hardest questions at the start of a divorce is what to do about their living situation. Living apart from your spouse may seem like the obvious next step, but, as nice as that might sound, the reality is that in 2025, many people cannot afford to pay for two separate households while their divorce is still in progress.
If you are a stay-at-home parent, or if you expect to pay child support or spousal maintenance, you may be worried about whether you can afford to leave. If you cannot afford to leave, you may be worried that a court will order you to leave anyway.
