grounds for divorce?

What is the name of your state? new york

my husband says he will divorce me because i have decided to file "married filing separately" this year (2002). he has claimed myself and daughter as deductions adding up to nearly 30,000.00 for the last three years, which savings he has used entirely at his discretion, in his business. he says that my changing filing status will cost him his business and that he wants a divorce. does he have grounds for divorce for this?
i am in a big panic, as i thought he actually cared for and loved his new family (m. 3+ yrs.). he says that he is calling a lawyer tomorrow. please i hope someone is here to help now!!!

**A: good grief. You two have way more issues than just tax filing problems. And what is wrong with you filing jointly?

i'd like an answer to my query please, not rudeness.

He could claim that your refusal to file jointly is cruel & inhuman treatment, or he could move out and force a separation agreement. Or he could file on most any grounds he chooses and drag it out long enough until you capitulate. Just something to think about.
