Although wife can contest anything what she wants there must be ground for it. Many states have enacted what is called no-fault divorce statutes. This is a response to outdated common law divorce which required proof in a court of law by the divorcing party that the divorcee had done one of several enumerated things as sufficient grounds for the divorce. This entailed proving that the spouse had committed adultery, or some other unsavory act. No-fault divorce eliminates this potentially embarrassing and undesirable requirement by providing for the dissolution of a marriage on a finding that the relationship is no longer viable. If you live in no-fault divorce state all what you have to do is to prove that the marriage is no longer viable. Court will then dissolve marriage, award custody of minors and divide communal property.

Seperation period really has nothing to do with anything. Once a party files for divorce, the other party has the option to contest it if they so desire. With a lengthy seperation period like yours,chances of getting back together are zilch and she probably wont challenge it as she really has nothing to gain from it now. A contested divorce can be expensive and lengthy and quite messy and still is granted in the end.

I dont know for sure but I think you have to be separated for 5 years. Its best to ckeck with a lawyer though. Staying in UK you can have free first time advice from the council. If you dont know how to reach them then contact citizen advice bureau.
