A decree of legal separation will only be entered by the court if there is a written agreement of the parties, or, possibly in a default situation.

No. All you have to do is file and serve your papers. He will then have 30 days to respond. If he does not do so, you can take his default and proceed from there.

No, not to file but you must have him personally served with the papers after you file.
