We have decided we are no longer in love after 6 years of relationship and 3.5 years of marriage. We are still great friends and want to raise our 3 boys together in 1 house. We will both have different rooms and no sexual actions of any kind, can we do that? How much will it cost for the divorce

It sounds like it is time to go back to court. The Order you are operating under was entered at a specific time when the circumstances of both the parties and the child were tremendously different.
