The date of separation will only count if you filed a Petition for divorce. In other words, alimony is based on the date of separation as found in the court records. There are exceptions. The IRA account will be defined by then number of years you were married, living together and the percentage the other spouse contributed. As to your autistic daughter, she is probably receiving state help and will not be included in the analysis for child support.

Not enough information to be specific. It depends on the Judge but the spouse probably will not be awarded half.
