Don't get me wrong - I'm not using it as a tactic.

She's told me she intends to move out soon, that she doesn't want to work on our relationship, and we barely talk despite still living together.

I'm doing the SA because once she moves out, I don't want her trying to come back - either to clean out the house while I'm not home, or to move back in if/when she realizes she can't afford to live on her own. If I could get some sort of an order barring her access to the house entirely, I could/would do that instead of a full blown SA.

Otherwise, I don't see what choices I have left without going down the path of an SA, in that I've tried every DB tool and things have gotten progressively worse between us. I'm doing as close to last resort as I can with us under the same roof - and I don't see any changes in her behaviour/attitude towards me.

I'd love to find some way to buy more time to ride out the A, but right now I don't think it's possible with her in the same house (no sense of loss, cake eating), and I don't trust her right now not to do anything crazy like start removing things from the house to sell (I believe she's accrued some debt - another reason for an SA to protect myself from taking the fall on her outstanding bills).
