Most people assume that you should leave your parents’ house by 25. The argument supporting the age assumption is that by 25, you probably have a stable source of income, and you’re ready to stick it up and take on the responsibilities synonymous with adulting. Don’t let the numbers lie to you or push you into moving out. If you’re 18 and ready to be an adult, do it; if you still want to enjoy your parents’ company, you can also do it for a while as you figure out life.

Going through a divorce is almost always stressful, but the one thing that can provide some comfort is being able to stay in your marital home, rather than having to move and look for a new place.
