My brother's wife has left the marital home with their 2 young children. There is no mortgage on the property and he owned the house outright before he got married to her.
I don't know the details of exactly why the marriage has broken down apart from the fact that they seem totally unsuited to each other.
When I spoke to her I asked if her intention was to get divorced and she said she hadn't yet decided.
What i'd like to know is are there any good reasons why you would stay married if your marriage was so clearly over? Could it be (thinking cynically) that she wants to stay married in order to benefit from any financial position in years to come?
Sorry, I don't know much about the whole process at all and would be grateful for any views.

Can anybody explain why someone would not get divorced if the marriage is totally over?
