In some countries, such as the Philipines, if you are separated for 7 years the marriage is annulled. However, in the U.S.A., you must file for divorce.

Even though you are getting a divorce it doesn't have to be the end of your marriage. After some time a part, some divorcees get back together and remarry.

Is it legally a divorce after 18 years of separation in NC?

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.

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.
