No.Unless you get a decree of divorce from the competent court of law, your marriage shall remain valid in eyes of law despite you are living separately. Notary is not the competent authority to issue a decree of divorce. If both the partners are ready for divorce the divorce process will not take more than six months in any case.

I agree with Shri Tiwari except if both of you belong to a community where customary divorce is recognised by law.
