Re: legal separation/divorce in PA.
Unlike other states there is no legal separation in Pennsylvania.
So how does the court know you been separated 2 years. Simple you say so in an Affidavit.
Of course you did file 2 years separation as one of the grounds for your divorce. If you didn't you will have to ask the court for permission to add that ground to your petition. It's not an impossible task but one you could have avoided by filing the right paperwork up front.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
