It's fairly obvious that I do not want a divorce. I avoided it but I'm in a spot where I have to protect my finances. How do I go about doing that if I don't want a divorce? Do I file for separation? I don't want to, but she won't do it. I think it's because she doesn't have any money. The fact she just lost her job is probably just going to delay the filing.

Are there any other solutions? Would filing for separation send the wrong message?
