Okay I want to know your definition of Split up and/or separated during a divorce. I still live with DH and yet he keeps telling me and everyone else that we are split up or separated. To me that means no longer living together or even in the same house/town, etc. I have tried telling him this but he says that since we are getting a divorce there is no relationship anymore because we dont have sex, kiss, hold hands, etc.......Ummm do you do all that with the person you are divorcing?? Didnt think so! So, please inform me. Humor me so I can relay all this to him.

Yeah that is a hard one. I was seprated still am but when I needed a place to stay when I wasnt seeing anyone I actully wanted to stay there where my kids where so I could see them and save money. We had a friendly relentionship so I think it would have worked. But we would have been seprated. I dont know if that helps really.

I found this separation legal definition of separation. separation synonyms by the Free Online Law Dictionary.

separation n. married persons living apart, either informally by one leaving the home or agreeing to "separate" while sharing a residence without sexual relations, or formally by obtaining a "legal separation" or negotiating a "separation agreement" setting out the terms of separate living.

So I guess he's right.
