If you want to live together, yes. But if you want to lie together why are you getting a divorce. If you tell the court you want to live together it might lead to the court saying why are you getting a divorce and deny the divorce.

Yes, you can probably get a divorce and then continue with some sort of alternative living arrangement that works for the both of you. If you didn't have children, the court really wouldn't care where you live after your divorce, but your residence and living situation will be of some interest to the court until your children are emancipated.
