No you don't have to live in a different residence to file for divorce. That is one possible ground, but there are many other grounds that you have available; including incompatibility.

No, it is not necessary. Simply see an attorney and hire him/her to start the divorce action for you. Good luck.

No, but failure to physically separate can cloud the issue of date of separation. If you are looking for an attorney and are in my area, please contact me for a free consultation.

Not only do you not have to live apart, many parties to divorce find that they cannot afford two residences until they sell or otherwise rid themselves of the marital domicile. Please see a local domestic relations attorney for further information.
