Dear Anonymous:
You are still legally married. Under Florida law, which will likely apply, the date of filing the petition for dissolution of marriage is the starting point for determining marital and non-marital assets and liabilities. In a nutshell, this means that the assets and liabilities both your spouse and you acquired after separation could still be considered for the purposes of determining the marital estate.
So, you should file for divorce now, because this will keep goin gforward without that legal declaration that you are divorced.
Best of luck,
