This site offers general information and not legal advice. Your question cannot be answered in this forum. Additional information is required concerning your intent and that of your spouse. Are you holding yourself out to friends and relatives as having separated? Do you have joint accounts; share household chores and responsibilities, such as cooking, laundry, etc? I suggest that you invest in a consultation with a family lawyer to discuss this matter in greater details. Most lawyers charge by the hour; therefore, you need to be prepared to pay an initial consultation fee. Best of luck~
