Has anyone done this? My circumstances may dictate that we live together until our
farm is sold after a divorce becomes final. It could be weeks, could be months.
I dont feel it is safe for me to do so as it's an abusive, alcoholic relationship.
What's he got to loose after we are divorced. He can drink and treat me anyway he wants.
I am afraid of that happening. He does that now but I think the divorce would make it worse.

Has anyone lived with their ex after the divorce?

i have heard of this on many occasions but usually when people part on good terms. the only reason for remaining in the same home is typically financial. some do it for the kids. but if it is unsafe, surely finding alternate arrangements even if uncomfortable is a better solution. the court certainly cannot demand that you stay in the same home after divorce. one of you can choose to leave it until it sells. be safe.

dont ruin the rest of your life and leave while you can have enough time to enjoy yourself

I lived with my ex-H for 4 months after we split up, but ours was an amicable parting with no abuse issues at all. I would not stay if there was abuse. Do you have a lawyer or advocate with whom to explore your options? Ideally, there would be a way to make your husband leave, but if not, the sooner you're apart, the better. Good luck.

Just to add, ours was pretty much the most amicable divorce I've ever witnessed, and it was still a strain to live together for those 4 months.
