I you don't want to still be married - which you HAVE been for the last ten years - then YES you need to get a divorce.
my friend has been separated for nearly 3 years can he put his divorce in nw and how long does it tke for a divorce to come though
Yes. There is no concept of "common law" divorce. Divorce is an actual legal process.
No, you need to get a divorce. Separation is NOT a divorce and the time you are separated has NOTHING to do with it.
This is a question that only the court which hears your divorce action can rule upon.
until you get divorce from the court you both are still said to be in marriage.
You can only be legally divorced if you get a legal divorce. It doesn't matter how long you have been separated. Separation only means you are no longer living together. Separation is not divorce. You are still married. What's keeping you from getting a legal divorce? I think you already know you are still legally married. Who is it you are trying to fool...or is it that still being married keeps you from being able to make the kind of commitment that the person you are now with probably wants. Nice safety net for you.. but not very mature. Get a divorce and get on with it.
If you have been legally separated for nine years but your spouse does not want to give you a divorce, it is importance to see the divorce attorneys. The divorce attorney will be able to provide the much needed legal health.
As it sounds like you already now, it does not matter how long you are separated from your spouse you need to file for divorce in order to be divorced. That being said, after being separated for so long, some elements of the divorce will be easier (the financial aspect, the fact that you both want to get divorced) but if yours is a situation that has complicated finances, children, or alimony then it could still take some time.
