According to the Holy Scripture, is there any difference between Divorce and separation?


I'm confused the bible should straighten things out but i can't seem to get my head around it, maybe I'm not seeing it well and i need help. Deut 24:1-4 and jer 3:1 had their shares and advice according to the law of God about how to divorce (encouraging divorce) BUT 1 cor 7:10-11 and Matt 19:9 and few other new testament chapters disallows divorce and even Luke 16:18 doesn't even allow a divorcee to get married again. According to the bible and todays law a paper for divorce must be given to them. According to the bible in deut 24:3-4. 

It is an abomination for a woman to get married and be divorced then get married to another man and divorce again (maybe the new husband dies) and return to the first husband if the exhusband accepts her its an abomination.

My questions: 

1. What is the fate of a woman who never re-married but the ex husband has already moved on after the divorce is it an abomination if this husband comes back to re-marry her (she was a first wife)? 

2. Can we call couples that are separated (even when there was no legal paper or traditional backing acceptance) divorced? Bible scholars Nlanders help me answer these questions. Mods pls do the needful.
