You can get divorced anytime. You and your spouse need to file and start the process.

In Arizona, there is no requirement that the parties be separated for some period of time prior to divorcing. The only grounds for divorce would be that the marriage is "irretrievably broken without reasonable prospect of reconcilation." If you and your spouse believe the marriage is broken, either of you can file for divorce. I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss the process in greater detail.

You can in Colorado regardless of how long you have been separated. If you don't live in Colorado you need to consult a lawyer where you live because not every state has the same requirements.

Your time apart has nothing to do with getting a divorce. Go for it!

Yes, you can get divorced. You should consult with an attorney in order to properly file and finalize the divorce, as well as draft all of the necessary papers, especially as there is a minor child involved.

Yes. The fact that you haven't lived together does not prevent you from getting a divorce.

Yes but the question is confusing. Nevada is a no fault state so you can file at any time. It is important to have competent counsel to walk you through the process.

You can get divorced anytime as long as you say the marriage is irretrievably broken with no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.
