Re: divorce

You are not supposed to do so. The main reason is because the court is interested in knowing whether there is a potential child of the marriage on the way. Separation, in this instance, is not strictly defined as living apart since you can still reside in the same house. It is about not having sex or sharing the same bed.

On a practical level, if you are still having sex, can you honestly say the marriage is irretrievably broken?
