CAN SEPARATED SPOUSES GET RE-MARRIED?

QUESTION: My wife and I separated over 6 months ago, but never filed for divorce. Can we get re-married?

MY RESPONSE: If you were merely separated, you are still married to each other. If you want to reconcile, you can, and there would be no reason or need for you to re-marry. You could re-marry if you wish, for emotional purposes, i.e., to re-cement your vows and marriage, but your official date of marriage would be your original date of marriage - important for derivative Social Security benefits.
