Any assets acquired during the marriage are community property. Any assets acquired after the parties separate are the individual’s property. Do not commingle your individual property with any accounts that were jointly held accounts. Be able to trace the origin of the newly acquired property and show a paper trail. Any property acquired during the marriage that was personally given to you, i.e.: money from a parents will, is yours. Remember, you must be able to show any commingled property to show it was yours and not community, otherwise, get ready....
According to Missouri divorce laws; you may request a no-fault divorce. All that is required is the statement of an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. There is no mention of a mandatory separation prior to filing. You will have to be separated for a year.
No. There is no mandatory separation time in Colorado.
I do not believe that you can. It has to be a mandatory 1 year before you can get officially divorced in NC. Even if the divorce is uncontested.
No, you need to get a divorce. Separation is NOT a divorce and the time you are separated has NOTHING to do with it.
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.

Each state has a different statute of limitations for separation for a divorce. In New York state you must be separated for one year before a divorce.
The same way you would if you just separated....hire an attorney and file for divorce.
In NC in order to get a no-fault divorce, you have to be separated for 1 year.
In Virginia, you must be separated for at least one year before you can file for a no-fault divorce. However, if you have a separation agreement and have no minor children, you can file for divorce after six months of separation. The separation period must be continuous, and the parties must live apart without cohabitation during this time.
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.
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.
