You may live with whomever, even your Ex spouse. A divorce cannot be "nullified," by such conduct.
However, it should be noted that neither party is entitled to accrue any interest, share or "protection" from the other, as if married, in any income or assets of the other party, but for what may be specified in the divorce judgment.
Good luck,

Yes, but I would strongly recommend against it unless absolutely necessary.
