In some states, if you cannot locate your ex to sign divorce papers, they will allow you to file a notice in the main newspaper of that last known address of your ex spouse. If the notice goes uncontested for a certain amount of time, the divorce decree will be granted without signatures. Check into it with your local county or township. Sometimes they have 'Do It Yourself' divorce seminars and will explain your options to you.
If the spouse is willing to sign off on a divorce, then it should be simple to find an online divorce agreement and then file it in your local courthouse. If not, seek legal advice to help you document the time apart and navigate the court system.
You should visit the local family court and inquire about filing a petition for divorce. If you have no children and no marital property it will make the process easier. After speaking with a clerk you may feel you can manage your own filings. If not, then you should arrange a consultation with an attorney who specializes in divorce and family law.
You can obtain a divorce the same way you would if you were separated 8 days ago. Just call your lawyer and file for divorce. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem unless your spouse contests.

You can only be legally divorced if you get a legal divorce. It doesn't matter how long you have been separated. Separation only means you are no longer living together. Separation is not divorce. You are still married. What's keeping you from getting a legal divorce? I think you already know you are still legally married. Who is it you are trying to fool...or is it that still being married keeps you from being able to make the kind of commitment that the person you are now with probably wants. Nice safety net for you.. but not very mature. Get a divorce and get on with it.
