Below is email response from Rebekah Sullivan. Please respond and let me know what you want to do. You've told me numerous times to get a lawyer and I did. This way you don't have to hide anything from me - this is what you've been asking for. Please, let me know.

I think you and I discussed, but in DC there is not much difference between a Legal Separation and an Absolute Divorce. The main difference is that you can remarry with an Absolute Divorce and cannot remarry with a Legal Separation. Other things – support, property division, etc. – are similar between the two. And if you get a Legal Separation, you can augment it to an Absolute Divorce with relative simplicity.
