It is essential that you file for a legal separation, otherwise you

will continue to have all of the same responsibilities and obligations

of a married couple. It is also important to spell out in writing,

exactly who shall have custody, who shall be the resident parent of the child,

child support, spousal support, separation of marital assets, etc. Today you are still friendly and on talking terms; tomorrow the situation may be different.
