More details to this question:
My spouse filed for divorce. She claims I set a fire in her over and over again. To be honest, we have communication problems and she just thinks ending our marriage is best. I know she still loves me. She took an anniversary gift I made for her, she has an old picture of us on her Facebook n when I asked her why, she said "because it was when we were nice to each other." To be honest, I think she may have even NPD but only my therapist has suggested it. I have a child, from a past relationship, she insists she wants to continue a relationship with; with or without my approval. My daughter is 9 and she doesn't like the fact that my spouse lies to her. My spouse blames me completely for this divorce and isn't taking blame in her own issues and refuses to go to marriage counseling. I don't understand her as much as you don't reading this. I believe in working things out and I truly, have always felt, divorce isn't the only choice. What would happen in I counterclaimed a legal seperation?

If you file a counterclaim for legal separation and they filed for divorce, at some point, the trial court will need to make a decision on how the case should proceed. I am going to speculate that since the divorce was filed first by her and if she doesn't want to stay married to you, the court would grant the divorce over the legal separation, but obviously, the court has discretion to decide the case either way.
