What is the name of your state? Virginia

Been married over 30 years we seprated 20 of those years. I was told by a few people that because of the time apart we are considered divorced. Now how can that be? There are no papers beween us but the marriage papers. We just live apart. There been no talk of divorce between the two of us. Is this true or is someone getting their info all mixed up?

No, there is no provision for automatic divorce just because you have been separated for a very long time. You are married until you get a legal divorce.
