What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
My husband has been carrying on an emotional affair for several months with a former high school girlfriend. I am hoping he will pull his head out of that dark place, but in the meantime I am gathering information on my options.
Background info: i am the sole breadwinner. We have 2 children and own our home .
A friend of mine has told me that under no circumstances should I leave the house. That if I did it could be considered abandonment in the case of divorce. Does this apply? Would this also apply if I continued to meet our financial obligations? What would be the ramifications of taking vs. not taking the children? I do not want to take this step but at the same time don't know how long I can wait for him to stop being a douchebag.
