Answer:
If the court finds that the marriage is not irretrievably broken, it shall deny the petition for dissolution of marriage. It is likely that if the parties still live together, the marriage is not irretrievably broken. I suggest considering other options, such as separate banking accounts, and speaking to a financial advisor.
