Well, let's just say if you leave, he can claim abandonment and then he could have the advantage. Unless, there is spousal abuse~ then you do...

Not necessarily. I got all of the household stuff when I left my first husband. If it is a state where everything is divided down the middle then he only gets half and you get the other half. Unless you both agree on who gets what. Make sure the lawyer puts it in writing or he can come back later and say that he never said that.

It all depends on your circumstance. If you are having an affair then yep the spouse will get everything. At least that is the law where I live. Go talk to a damn liar I mean lawyer.

I did the same thing ok here what happen to me ! I could nto live with my husband at the time! Now my x and i moved out! i came back to the house with cops later on and told him what i wanted with the cops with me! one thing i learned was not to leave kids behind because if you have kids then you leave them behind he will throw that in you face like my x did ! so take the kids and tell him what you want and if he has a problem with this you have the cops to back you up ! good luck and becareful friends that you both know will take sides and it will be a mess !

You need to get on line and check the laws for abondanment in your particular state. Most every state has divorce information available. Some states have 'community property' laws, some don't.
When my husband drove me out of the house in Florida after 20 years, I came back to Texas. The laws are different between the two. Unfortunately, he thought everything was 'his, his, his', but it wasn't - it was 'ours' and the court system took care of the rest.... check your laws BEFORE you walk.

From experience, If you leave the home and move out with out taking the things you want to keep then you are giving up any right to those processions. unless you get a real good lawyer to draw up papers before you leave.

The smart thing to do is to seek the advice of an attorney before taking any action. Some of them will talk with you for a short time (an initial consultation) at no charge.

The main things to consider hear are as follows:
-Do you have kids? If so were you not around?
- Did you cheat? Can she prove it?
- Are you a drunk? Abusive? Drugs? Gamble?
- Is her name on everything?
You have to have proper grounds to initiate a divorce. Depending on who is doing the things listed above will determine who laughs all the way to the bank.

No, you will need to split everything. However, I would get a restraining order which keeps her from selling items that you may want. Take some pictures before you leave.

No. You should still be able to work that out in court when you file for divorce. Just because you left doesnt mean you forfeit your rights to the house or anything in it. Just means you moved out.

That depends...if you just leave, its called abandonment...I would imagine a lawyer would have to get involved in all aspects of you leaving/divorcing him, unless you two can be civil about it all....
