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.

I have a Legal separation now I want a divorce?

Legal separation is to the same thing as divorce and is not always a prerequisite to a obtaining a dissolution of marriage (i.e. divorce). Although many of the issues (such as alimony, child support, etc) that would traditionally be dealt with in a divorce were done in your legal separation, you still need to go through the divorce process, starting with filing for divorce. At no point, no matter how long you have been separated, will a legal separation turn into a divorce.

Should you file for separation before filing for divorce?

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.
