Judicial separation

This discussion concerns a real-life scenario where a wife filed for judicial separation, interim maintenance, child custody, and a Domestic Violence Case (DVC). She left the marital home with their child three months after filing. The user is seeking clarification on whether the judicial separation period commences from the date the wife left home or from the judgment date. They also want to know how this affects the one-year waiting period required to file for divorce after judicial separation.
