Daily Real Estate News | August 13, 2008 | Market Keeps Divorcees Cohabitating
Divorce is painful to the heart and bank account, particularly when a home stands in the way of an amiable dissolution.

"They used to fight over who was going to keep the house," says Marc Angelucci, a family law attorney with the Men's Legal Center in downtown San Diego. "Now they're fighting to get away from the house."

Some couples are continuing to share the property, avoiding each other on the way to the bathroom. Couples who can afford it are trying "birdnesting," an arrangement in which the children stay in the family home and the parents take turns living there.
