Question

Is it permissible for Ashkenazim to stand in a Sephardic minyan during Kaddish when everyone else is sitting, or is it prohibited due to the prohibition of not dividing?

Answer

There is no prohibition of not dividing in this case, but it is a matter of proper etiquette not to stand among those who are sitting and not to sit among those who are standing.
