1yr living in separate houses
You must wait till the divorce is final..That's about it. Some States have a waiting period or separation time frame that must be met between filing and when it becomes Final. Like in Indiana(not sure if its still true) But you had to be separated for 6 months if you have kids before a divorce is Final.
Yes you should have a separation agreement. In most states you must be separated for one year to file for divorce. If you have a separation agreement with your ex which has been notorized and dated, it will make it easier to prove you have been separated for a year. Separation agreements also help in dividing up property if you both agree on what each will get. If you want a quickie divorce it only takes 30 days in some states. Also beware some lawyers will tell you that if you both agree to say that you have been separated for a year and backdate the paperwork,then you can get a divorce immediately. This is a common occurance but be warned if you are not on good terms with your ex, it could come back to bite you! * There are 12 states which require a couple to separate for a specified length of time before filing for divorce. The issue of filing for a dissolution of marriage and the time the divorce is final is often confused with the act of a required separation before a divorce can be filed. In states that require the couple to reside separately before the filing it generally pertains to the interlocutory in relation to a "no-fault" divorce.

Legal Separation and Divorce are two different entities. The amount of time that you are legally separated from your spouse does not necessarily affect the divorce proceeding in the sense that you are not divorced after a certain amount of time being separated but it can help with the separation of assets. By this I mean that during the time you are legally separated that is when the economic community ends.
12 months after a "legal seperation", a divorce can be proceeded with.
There is no minimum time requirement for separation before a divorce. Legal residents of the state of Oklahoma can file for a divorce at any time.
As soon as you realize reconciliation is not an option.
some states require you to be separated for a period of time before you can file for divorce, and some dont require any certain length of time, but REGARDLESS you have to go through divorce proceedings to be divorced. Get a lawyer!
No, you need to get a divorce. Separation is NOT a divorce and the time you are separated has NOTHING to do with it.
