You cannot get a divorce unless you are legally married, which means you have a marriage certificate. You might still need to do something official, though. If you and your spouse owned things together and are both on the deed to land, for example, the deed still is valid after separation. If you lived together a long time, some states will give rights to a common law partner even after separation. If there are children, there could be rights to child support. To be sure, ask a lawyer in the state where you lived together.
