"Final separation", for purposes of IC 31-15-7, means the date of filing of the petition for dissolution of

(2) a provisional order or final decree for legal separation of the
parties was in effect when the petition for dissolution of marriage
under IC 31-15-2-4 (or IC 31-1-11.5-3 before its repeal) was filed;
the term means the date that the petition for legal separation was filed
under IC 31-15-3-4 (or IC 31-1-11.5-3 before its repeal).
