If you are separated, you are still legally married.
If your marriage is annulled, then it legally never existed.

Once a Decree of Annulment has been issued by the court the parties may choose to remarry. A decree of Legal Separation allows the spouses to live separately but does not sever the bonds of marriage (remarriage is not allowed).
