Re: dovorce
If you moved back in together, then the clock has restarted on the one year separation requirement. If you have children together or any significant assets/debts, then you should consider getting a legal separation rather than just waiting a year, as there are several advantages by doing so and risks if you don't.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
