You don't have to do anything. You are still legally married. Go through another marriage ceremony if it will make you feel better,

If you have a judgment for legal separation you are still married to each other.

This would assume you went to court and entered a legal separation. If you did then you can file a form do bring your rights back as a married couple. In a legal separation you only separated your assets and debts and did not dissolve your marriage. You would not have to get remarried just would merge your assets and debts again if you wished.

If you only had a Legal Separation Judgment, you are still married. If there was a Dissolution, you were divorced and you need to re-marry, just as you would marry any other person.

Well, if you are only separated, then you are legally married. You may want to go to court if there was a court case for the separation and file a stipulation that the separation is no longer in effect. If there is no court case, just get back together. If you are divorced, then you just need to get married again.

If you are just legally separated then you remain married to one another and simply need to undo the property settlement agreement done in the separation.

If you are legally separated, vacate the separation order and close the case.

If you are Florida residents than you were never divorced as Florida does not recognize legal separation.

In Kansas, you can just get a marriage license and get married again. You might consider a Premarital Agreement that incorporates the terms of your prior legal separation. That would save a lot of problems in the event the remarriage is not successful.
