Common sense would
dictate otherwise but I belive the 21st century started 1st
of Jan 2001 — at least that's how I recall it from a
couple of years working out Y2K bugs, so assuming «this» decade is the first
of the new century is not unreasonable compared to the rest
of the spin.
I have seen
couples separate for the minimum required time
dictated by their state and I have also seen
couples stay separated for several
years, with no intention
of starting the divorce process.
