Yes! This is difficult to determine. Usually it is the date that one of the parties moved out of the family residence, but that is not always the case. Perhaps one spouse moved into a different bedroom...perhaps it's the date that they went to talk to an attorney...or the day that they got their own bank account and said it was over. Make note of significant occurrences so that when you do file, you will know the Date of Separation. It is the date from which all of the assets and debts are divided. For example all of your income and earnings after that date are yours along with all of your retirement contributions.
