回复：回复：回复：回复：离婚前必须分居一段时间吗

谢谢！下面是我copy的一段话，最后一句话是不是说华盛顿州不要求在离婚前必须分居的？

A separation may be formalized with a legal contract, or a "Decree of Legal Separation," or both. A legal separation may be preferred to a dissolution for religious, economic or other reasons. A couple may decide to live apart while attempting to save a faltering relationship, or the separation may be an interim step toward termination of the marriage. There is no legal requirement for actual separation before dissolving a marriage.
