That's a toss up in my opinion. In Kentucky, separation converts to divorce after a year. 6 of 1 in my opinion.
When my W filed, I was disappointed to hear she filed for D instead of separation.. the train has been so slow that I no longer care.
These things take time.. especially if one of the two is resilient.
Take my sitch for example.. W filed for divorce mid September. We just recently got the TEMPORARY agreement worked out.
In KY, here is how it works:
File for divorce Respondent has 21 days to reply Work out Temporary agreement (Custody, Child support, housing, etc) Separation Agreement (Division of assets) Divorce Decree
W served almost 3 months ago and we just finished step 1.
I'm actively pursuing step 2 (for financial reasons as well as to give her a wakeup call) and it's an arduous process.
