No. Divorce does not occur automatically without a court action being initiated by one of the parties. The amount of time that you must be separated varies from state to state, but regardless, a motion or petition for divorce must be filed with the court by one of the parties. A court hearing will be scheduled, and both parties must attend. A judge may issue a judgement of divorce at that time, if all of the criteria have been met, and there are no other open or pending issues. Whenever in doubt, seek the advice of a competent attorney.
