So then after taxes you get married again? You could make this a yearly thing.

I know of couples who are "separated", but live in the same house for tax breaks. Just another way to beat the system I guess.

I had to comment on this because my wife got disabled at work but due to changes in laws could not get dissability since I "made to much" and we couldn't afford medical bills and food for our kids. So for us getting divorced though we didn't want to gave us about 20k more a year due to laws.
