Separation Agreement Help

My spouse and I have been separated (living apart) for 1.5 years now, and would like an uncontested divorce ASAP. Is there any way for us to expedite or do we still have to file an MSA and wait 1 year?

Eitheryou or your spouse can start an action for an uncontested divorce on the grounds of abandonment (actual separation without permission from the other spouse) or constructive abandonment (sexual separation without permission from the other spouse) for over a 1-year period.
