Divorce, Yet No Separation

Why would a man want to divorce his wife of many years but still want to continue his life with her just as before - living in the same house. And that no one is to know of their divorce.

Everything will be the same except that they are now legally not married. 

Background:
The man has an estranged first wife with whom he had a son and with whom also he is estranged. The man's inlaws (from 2nd wife) never accepted him as their son in law in all these years.

Possible Reasons:
  1. Maybe because the man was touchy about his inlaws never accepting him but his wife continued to maintain good relations with her own family. And the divorce is a way of punishing the wife.
  2. Maybe he can tell his son that he is no more married and hence request the son to accept him and come back to his life.
  3. Maybe there is some property that would come to him or some business / legal deal that would come through only if he wasn't married (at all or atleast to his current wife). 
  4. Maybe someone challenged the man that he was not man enough and could not divorce his wife. Just a "fun" thing to prove that he could do anything if he set out to.
  5. Maybe the man is in love with another married woman and that woman insisted that he get divorced first and only then would she file a case against her husband.
  6. The wife has committed some crime or misdemeanor (which the husband knows about) and which may impact his business / social / legal standing if he is married to her. (For example, if there is an application form that he has to fill which has the question "Are you or any family member ever...?") Another variety of this is if he had got his wife to committ a crime and he wants now to distance himself from the crime. "It was she who did it. And she isn't related to me."
  7. She doesn't give me BJ's. (Men being men even this could trigger huge anger.)
