It is up to your parents to decide if they are married or separated. If THEY think they are separated, they are. If you mother is willing to sign the FAFSA as separated, she can. You won’t be able to use the DRT from the IRS. She’ll have to go through their tax form and separate out all her income, and the same with assets.
