Can you really sue for abandonment?

I live in Ohio.
My husband left me and, I believe, we're getting a disillusionment.
Whatever he wants he's paying for it.
It might be a divorce or a disillusionment. I don't really know.

In Ohio dissolution and divorce are the same thing .
Abandonment requires wilfull absence of at least one year .

I do believe they're different.
I know someone who's been through both.

Just this past week, paid a consulttion fee of $250 to the legendary meanest female divorce attorney in our tri-counties. My main question . . . can my daughter and I leave the house until the divorce would be final. Her response - NO, if you do it's abandonment and you will not be entitled to ANY assets. Was she high or what?

Sounds like it…I understand it can come into play when there are custody issues, but it should not have a bearing on division of assets.

I have to agree- in my hubby's first marriage she left with the kids after filing for divorce and rented a house. They considered it abandonment and he used it as leverage in the alimony payments. Basically- she wouldnt move back so she had 5 years of payments knocked off!!! that was 100's of 1000's of bucks she lost, but her pride was more important (and probably her sanity!)
As far as the assets- everything was even-stevens, from what he told me.
Now that I am in the "potential divorce seat", I am afraid to leave!!! I dont want to go on business travel bcs I am afraid he throw my stuff away and then "swear" I moved out!
