Married people are so used to not having roommates (other than their spouse). Then they split and want the same size house but without the other spouse. Then they fight over each other's money because they deserve the same standard of living they had before. There is no shame in getting some roommates again. They can keep you from going crazy, if you click with them.
I'm no lawyer, but I think judges are more likely to side with women if there are kids involved, or at least if she has been the primary child raiser that whole time.
