Yes. In England and Wales, you can apply for a divorce even if you and your spouse continue to live in the same home.
Under the no-fault divorce system, you do not need to prove wrongdoing or assign blame. The only requirement is that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. Sharing a property does not stop the divorce process.
Many couples remain under the same roof during a divorce for practical reasons, such as finances, childcare, or finding alternative accommodation. Whether you live largely separate lives or continue to share some day-to-day responsibilities, this will not usually affect your ability to divorce.
That said, living together during a divorce can make conversations about finances, parenting arrangements, and future living plans more complex. Getting legal advice early can help you understand your position and avoid unnecessary disputes, particularly where children or the family home are involved.
