You smooth out the other issues really quickly when you still have to live together for 8 months post-breakup because of the lease.
We have a friend who got a divorce, but let his wife stay in his house because he didn’t want their two sons (who were teens at the time) to think he was mean to their mother. She stayed for 8 years. Mr. w said to him, ‘I think after 7 years you’re legally married again.’ She was out in 3 months.
