It depends. You have given me insufficient information to provide you with any information that may be of help to you. Was there a dissolution of marriage filed? In what county? Were there any temporary orders entered, including a temporary parenting plan? What remains to be done to complete this legal case? Living separate and apart is not being separated with a Decree of Separation. You need to speak to someone like me who has extensive experience in family law to get proper advice and information. Good Luck!
