In some states Alienation is a grounds for divorce. It should be stated on the petition for divorce if your state requires a compelling reason to ask for divorce. If you happen to live in a no fault state, the issue of alienation is moot. In a no fault state you do not need a reason to get a divorce. In that case, your "reason" is not a consideration (legally that is). Make sure you find out if your state is no fault so that you will know how to proceed.

Yes you should have a separation agreement. In most states you must be separated for one year to file for divorce.

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.
