I have one big question: Why did Splinter and the Turtles separate?
I don't know if I missed a comic. My reading went from everyone on the farm to the turtles in the city and Splinter meditating in the wilderness.

It's more inferred than outright stated, but by that point in time the Turtles had moved on and no longer directly request permission for anything from Master Splinter. They went back to face the Shredder in RTNY without discussing it with him and they went back to deal with the Foot Clan civil war in CAW again without discussing it with him. Part of Splinter's story arc during CAW is his dealing with the feeling of obsolescence and getting his ego adjusted.
