Sounds like she has a smart friend.

How do you know? Not much to agree on unless you are talking about personal property.

Why doesn't she stay with mom until then?

Do you want to keep the house?

I lived with my ex for 15 months after she filed.

Well it's all a calculation you should be able to figure out yourselves.

Oh I am sure you will be tested at some point.
