I guess it really would depend on the agreement made. When you say "legally separated" does that mean by agreement between the two of you? I have seen many an agreement that provides for this situation and states specifically that co-habitation between you and you spouse will not void the agreement. If it is by legal separation through the courts then local case law will provide the answer to your question. I would consult with an attorney in your area on the matter. I am assuming here that either you have decided to give it a try again and if your agreement in silent to the issue consider an addendum - if permissible - stating that the agreement remains in effect. But good luck with it.
