aprofessional1, If you move back in with your spouse, it is likely that a judge would view that as a reconciliation. A reconciliation would toll the one-year separation period. If your goal is to obtain a divorce approximately 7 months from now, it would not be wise to move back in with her. David L.

I think I already know the answer to this, but would like your advice. My roommate was supposedly buying a house, but today found out that, because he is still legally married that the bank won’t lend him the money. This after he told the person he rents the place we live in that we would be out on the 22nd of THIS month. I could move back in with my wife temporarily, but that would void my already 5 month separation, correct?? I have no intention of getting back together with her, but we are still on speaking terms, but I don’t want to complicate this any more than it already is. Thanks for a great site and keep up the good work. Alot of people really appreciate it.
