It depends.
1. where they are living, and it really varies from state to state, 2.whether there are children,
3. how long they lived together
4. whether they have combined bank accounts, and that varies whether they are "and".....or accounts that are "either or", so he can run and remove everything before she knows.
5. whether her name is in addition to his on the mortgage, lease of rental, electric bill, and all utilities including the telephone bill. If her name is not on the electric bill, then only he gets credit for the deposits. He can take the deposits and close down all utilities without her knowledge.
6. I suggest she run to a lawer, and find out her rights before any separation.
7. If not, you will lose lots especially if she has no job.
She could be on the street with nothing...........
so, go find out the state laws according to a lawyer, and try to get the initial appointment (many will be ok with this) with no fee.
Good luck! May God lead your path!

Check with a lawyer. I think it's 50/50.
