if she has contributed to the house then 50% of profits . if the child is yours you will also have to pay for that child until the age of 18 .. that's how it works in the UK .........best of luck

If you live in the US (I don't know about any other country) it doesn’t matter who left the home. Generally speaking, each spouse is entitled to half of anything acquired during the marriage and responsible for half of the debts.
As far as the statement that judges do not look kindly on abandonment…well, every situation is different. But basically anyone can leave a marriage at any time, and generally speaking will not be penalized for leaving a situation in which you are unhappy. If, however, you leave a marriage and in the process abandon your children, leaving them without financial support, then that’s a different story.
A word of advice, if you withdraw all communal funds and put them in your own account (as suggested by another poster), then you can expect the judge will be unhappy with YOU about that, because she’s entitled to half of those funds.
Talk to a local attorney about the situation.

She can get you out if she want's to.
She can say that she had no alternative but to leave as life was unbearable under the same roof as you and it was affecting your child.
You do not state the reason for her leaving so it is hard to give you complete details.
Anyway, if she has left because she doesn't want to be with you anymore, she can get you out, move back into the house with your child and stay their until your child is l6 or longer if he/she goes on to further education.
If she doesn't work you will be responsible for mortgage payments and supporting your child and her.(If she has to stay at home to look after your child).
However, if she doesn't want to move back into the house and is agreeable to it being sold, she will get much more than you,as she has your child and the child has to have a roof over his/her head. So she will get enough to buy a two bedroom place, whereas they will say one bedroom is more than enough for you, as a single male.
Once the mortgage is paid off, she will get two thirds and you will get one third.
She is also entitles to half of your assets,if she has been married to you whilst you acquired them.(money, stocks & shares bonds,business,her car (if she has one) on and on.
Tough eh! this is why people should really think about marriage and the consequences of a divorce if it doesn't work out,sad really.
Good luck.

I believe, according to the laws of Blair's Britain, that she is entitled to full access to the kids and half the estate, plus a percetage of your allowance to bring up the kids and maintain the lifestyle that she had when she was with you.
Sucks I know, but divorce is built to the benefit of the woman ONLY!!! If she has an affair and you file for divorce, she will still take you to the cleaners, take your house, money etc!!!!
As far as I am concerned, Divorce should be made as easy as it is to get married!

It doesn't matter who has physically left the marital home, your entitlement won't change.

you need to seek legal counsel now!!!! if you don't she'll take you to the cleaners for a deep cleaning--
Abandoment from your marriage---judges don't look to kindly on that.
Get yourself protected with a court order for temporary relief---secure yourself and your assets---
Before you do that though---Open a bank account in your own name----change the beneficiaries on everything and don't forget to change it on your 401k and pension plans----Withdraw all communal funds and put them in your new bank account---do the same with your savings/CD's Bonds, T-bils and anything that might be joint!
NOW---get yourself an atty and disolve this marriage---Protect you and your interests!
