Full question:
I read on a legal website that there is a 60 day waiting period in Kansas after filing for divorce before it can be decreed. Do we have to live under seperate roofs and/or separate bedrooms during this time period?

Answer:
In Kansas, a divorce decree cannot be issued until sixty days have passed since filing the petition, unless the court has declared an emergency (KSA 60-16-1617). There is no requirement to live in separate homes or bedrooms during this waiting period. However, if you continue marital relations, it could potentially be used as a reason to stop the divorce if one party wishes to do so.
