Most divorces are filed on the catchall grounds of “irretrievably broken”, in other words, if you tell the Judge that you can’t be married anymore to your spouse that should be sufficient. However, if you claim your marriage is “irretrievably broken” you better not sleep with your spouse after filing. I had a three-day jury trial be dismissed because the clients slept together shortly before Court. Don’t do this if you want to get divorced.

In a divorce, you allege that you have been in a “bona fide” state of separation. Due to financial and other reasons, it’s not uncommon for people to be living together during the divorce process. “Bona Fide” state of separation really means you are no longer having sex with your spouse. Pro tip being: save sleeping with your ex until AFTER the divorce is over.
