States that follow a community property model almost always split community property assets evenly between the spouses, in a 50/50 split. Delaware, however, is not a community property state, and is one of the 41 states that follows the equitable distribution model.
Furthermore, before you file for divorce, you and your spouse must be legally separated.
You should know that even if you live in a state that requires living apart before divorce, that does not mean that you need to get a legal separation (which isnt even an option in all states). Learn more about the requirements to file for divorce in your state.
In the US, they usually arent done simultaneously. You can file for divorce without filing for a legal separation. If you want a legal separation, you would file for that before filing for a divorce.
Furthermore, before you file for divorce, you and your spouse must be legally separated. Under Delaware law, in order to be legally separated, you can still be separated if you live in the same house so long as you do not share the same bedroom with your spouse or have sexual relations with your spouse.
