The action is usually referred to as "separate maintenance", where the couple reside apart but are still legally married. The court establishes the rights and liabilities of each party (child support, custody, property division, alimony, etc.). It is required that a couple file for and be granted a divorce for the marriage to be legally dissolved.

While most states have some form of legal separation, however, Texas does not. In Texas, temporary orders concerning marital issues can be granted while a divorce is pending, but there is no provision for an indefinite legal separation.
States vary on the requirement of separation prior to divorce. A lot depends on the type of divorce being sought. The bigger question is whether moving to another state can expedite a divorce.

Washington and South Dakota have no set residency requirement, but both have waiting times, depending on the action upon which the complaint is filed. Florida has a six month residency requirement but no waiting period or separation requirement.
