In this paper we reexamine the problem of the separation of spin and charge degrees of freedom in two dimensional strongly correlated systems. We establish a set of sufficient conditions for the occurence of spin and charge separation. Specifically, we discuss this issue in the context of the Heisenberg model for spin-1/2 on a square lattice with nearest ($J_1$) and next-nearest ($J_2$) neighbor antiferromagnetic couplings. Our formulation makes explicit the existence of a local SU(2) gauge symmetry once the spin-1/2 operators are replaced by bound states of spinons. The mean-field theory for the spinons is solved numerically as a function of the ratio $J_2/J_1$ for the so-called s-RVB Ansatz. A second order phase transition exists into a novel flux state for $J_2/J_1>(J_2/J_1)_{{\rm cr}}$. We identify the range $0
