You can either contest a divorce, which involves going to court and pleading your case, or you can accept it, in which case the marriage is over and the family assets are divided up in a manner that you and your divorcing spouse can agree upon. (If you can't agree, then the courts can decide for you, although this tends to involve high legal expenses.) It is not likely that you will both remain in the same house.
Individual states impose a specific time period before a divorce can be filed, whether contested (meaning one party does not want the divorce) or uncontested (meaning both parties agree to divorce.) That time period is the time in which the couple have not "lived under the same roof" in most places, but may vary in your state, so check with the court to be sure. AFTER "filing" there is then another time period before the divorce can finally occur.
Even if both parties agree, they still may have to haggle about the specific division of marital assets, custody of children, payments of child and spousal support and many other things.
