Re: how long before one is considered by law seperated

The State of Texas does not recognize legal separation.

In Texas you are either married or divorced.

You can file for divorce and ask for temporary orders to make sure that your spouse is not hiding assets or spending money unreasonably.

I hope this information is helpful.

Good luck!
