The 60 days is not an automatic "perfection" period. It is a waiting period. You must ether file the final documents in lieu of hearing or have a final hearing. If all that happens is the expiration of time, you're not divorced and if 6 months goes by your matter can be dismissed, leaving you married. Legal separation is an entirely different filing from divorce. No waiting period needed to separate but you still need a hearing or final documents. Hope this helps.
