Divorced and Still Together


One of the common things that I am seeing in my practice as a result of the economy and poor housing market is people stuck with homes that they cannot sell. Some people choose to let the home foreclose, others choose to remain in the home together, even after a divorce. Some people are able to amicably live with one another after divorce with few issues and problems, others find themselves fighting over everything from who is going to get the master bedroom to whether they can bring dates home with them. Its hard to move on emotionally if you are still living with your ex, but it can be a solution to financial woes, so long as it doesn't result in long term emotional trauma.

These facts are having an affect on people's divorces, and also hindering people from starting the divorce process, despite the fact that they are in an unhappy marriage. The following article addresses how the housing market is affecting divorces here in Florida:
