What is so bad that you can’t provide your kids a normal home?

On the week of his 25th anniversary a wise husband said I'm pretty sure I love my wife more today than I did the day we were married.

And I'm absolutely sure I love her more today than I did ten years ago when I hated her guts.

And how does one document when separation started?

Your testimony and the testimony of at least one other witness who claims to have personal knowledge and would know if you reconciled.

So are divorce papers drawn up after the 1 year of separation? And how does one document when separation started?


You can file up front & wait the year or live separately for a year and then file. I believe the former protects you more because it stops community property during the waiting period, but I could be wrong. It’s been a while since I researched.

This is bad advice. La is a community property state. The future ex could ring his arse into court for keeping her out of the home if the property in owned by both.

Suck it up for them. You have plenty of time to be divorced after they leave the nest.

Advice was not intended to be the first step in the process. Was assuming separation had already happened and both parties were involved. It is very accurate that the away party can just decide to move back in and the clock resets.

Your point has been noted however. Is there an official way to protect oneself from this type of reset? Maybe it can only be done after initial filing and such.

You can get a type of temporary restraining order that is apparently common when filing for divorce. I didn’t, but I’ve seen a few women include it in their divorce filing. It made it so the husband had to move out immediately and couldn’t remove marital property unless a cop/witness was present. It’s pretty bullshite, but they’ll apparently issue a TRO in this case (without real basis) that lasts until you go to court. I can’t recall the specifics since it’s been years, but it was an effective way to get a spouse kicked out of the house.

I was speaking from experience btw, 6 months into separation she just moved back in and just like that, back to zero. I had emails proving lack of consent but attorney wouldn't touch it.

See an attorney. While you have to live separate and apart to get the divorce there may be things that can be done to cut off your responsibility for your spouse's debts before that time runs.
