Re: separation?
I would suggest that you arrange for a consultation with a Virginia attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in the Commonwealth's domestic relations law and who should be able to advise you not only as to your options regarding your "next step out", legally speaking, but also on the ones which may follow after that initial step.
