No you can't. Assuming she only added that as a grounds for divorce and didn't file an affidavit of separation claiming something that wasn't true.
Even if you could use it against her why bother. What do you hope to gain?
Its common to include a grounds of 2 years separation in a divorce complaint just in case the defendant won't file an affidavit of consent.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.

It is very common to include a count for two year separation at the time a divorce is filed. Many times the parties will be separated for two years during the course of divorce proceeding and it avoids have to amend the complaint at that time. The party of course cannot file a two year affidavit if the parties have not been separated for two years. The procedure allows a defendant to contest the separation date in the event some one were to incorrectly claim two year separtion prior to the requisite time. If you would like to schedule a consultation to discuss your matter you may contact my office.
