with my wife's 1st D, she was told not to leave the house so stayed with her hub thru the procedure and she was miserable. When my wife paid her atty for our D, apparently this guy told her not to leave the house either. So she asked me if i'd sign something saying she isnt abandoning the house because she wanted to stay with her mom a few days and go look for a place to stay. I said sure ill sign something, i'm not that kind of person that would lock you out. (plus her name is on the deed so i dont see what the big deal is)
so what IS abandonment that she is so worried about it? She was served a week ago if that matters. And when i talked to an atty here a while ago they said there is such a thing as abandonment but it's such a narrow set of circumstances it virtually never happens.
Plus reading thru this forum, i see MANY people move out before the D is final so i'm positive all those people arent being charged with abandonment and lose rights to property.
