Correct "marital status" for separated common-law

[mongorjo]

Could someone help me understand if I picked the right option? I was in a common-law union, but we separated two years ago.

In Brazil, common-law relationship separations don't require the involvement of a court. You go to a notary's office and sign the papers to be officially "separated."

In my EE profile, I selected the option "Separated," but I felt like its description was a bit strange:

Separated means that two people are married but no longer living together, and they do not wish to live together again. They may be waiting for a divorce or have not yet decided to divorce.

We're neither married anymore nor waiting for a "divorce." We've already separated.

When I look at the next possible option, Divorced, it's even farther away from my situation since no court has ever been involved:

Divorced means that a court has granted a divorce and that a marriage has ended. The two people are no longer married.

Did I select the correct option?

PS: Sorry if this seems duplicated, I couldn't find any other thread with this answer.
