If a woman moves out, the marriage obviously was in trouble. If the spouse does not gainfully work and the other spouse does, the working spouse will help support the spouse for a reasonable amount of time for the spouse to become employed and self-supporting. It will be tight on both of you at first, but it will pass if you only help the spouse get on his/her feet. It's only fair. Then you both can go on to your separate lives. The way most states work it, the spouse is entitled to some support for one half the amount of time you were married, or whatever the judge feels is reasonable. It usually does not matter which spouse left the marriage, both partners deserve a period of adjustment time or time to refresh their marketable skills.

You'd better check your State laws. You may get nothing more then what you came into the marriage with. What do you think it's all about.
If you have children you may have to hire an attorney and go to court, the sum will be what the judge determined is right for the kids, not you.
Under very special circumstances you might get something but, don't count on it and, it's going to take a court to decide, maybe two to four years unless children are involved, maybe never.
If you moved out on your own then you just about gave everything up.

In some states, they allow marriages to dissolve without burden of proof, called "no-fault divorces" but each side has to agree to the letter. (esp. on division of property, alimony, child support, visitation, custody etc.).

Truth be told, if she moves out, she better have a job cuz she isn't getting squat from me. She left, I didn't kick her out. sounds to me like she knew she could support herself by leaving. Ohhh, who did she move in with?
