In this Sept. 15, 2011 photo, Bill Ricker talks with his ex-wife Judith Odyssey in the trailer home they share, in Hartford, Maine. They divorced around 1995 and she moved out. But he offered to let her move back in nine years ago when she was going through a rough time, and she now lives in the other end of the trailer. (AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty)
