No separation form is needed in order to file for a divorce. You be separated for at least one year before filing for divorce.

No form is required - you are legally separated once you cease cohabitating and having marital relations with your spouse. Voluntary separation for one year is one of several grounds for divorce in Maryland. If fault grounds exist (e.g., adultery, cruelty of treatment), you can file without waiting a year.
