You should establish the parameters of your "separated relationship" by having an attorney prepare your Separation Agreement, which will be helpful in avoiding confusion and disagreement. The Agreement can establish (for the world) your money & living arrangements as well as,. provide the groundwork for eventual divorce
good luck,
