The High Court has granted a decree of divorce to a couple who will continue to live together in the family home under the terms of their settlement agreement.
[Gillian O'Hanlon BL - in Irish Legal News.]
This is just the top of the article which is the summary.
"Delivering judgment for the High Court, Mr Justice John Jordan determined that “if a couple can be considered as living apart from one another while living in the same dwelling provided that they are not living together as a couple in an intimate and committed relationship… it is difficult to see any principled objection to a similar arrangement continuing by agreement after a decree of divorce is granted”.
[Section 15(2)(a) of Divorce Act 1996 was not to be interpreted as a prohibition on living together on divorce - a fair assessment. ]
