VIRGINIA Part 31

The date of separation is the last date when the parties existed as husband and wife -- living together as husband and wife and/or cooperating to maintain the relationship.

A separation period resets when the parties have reconciliation (even temporary), intimate relations, cohabitation as husband and wife, etc.

Please note that some separating parties still live in the same house for economic reasons. The parties are not forced to live in separate houses, but they cannot be sleeping together and/or having intimate relations. To maintain the separation, the parties typically have separate bedrooms and have limited contact with each other in the common areas of the home (kitchen, laundry room, living room, etc.).
