I'm curious does anyone ever legally seperate who is very poor like both only have one automobile in area with limited public trans and cant afford rent on their own, and stay living together because of pragmatic limitations. {one would be waiting for sect 8 housing since they are disabled}


Has anyone here ever lived with partner they were legally seperated from due to these factors?

You should check on your state law, but where I live you can't be legally separated if you live in the same house--you actually have to be living separately, which means in separate residences, not separate bedrooms.

I completely agree to check with your state guidelines.

Check with your attorney.
