Question About Abandonment

[Jackol]

Wyoming. I have a question dealing with abandonment. Is it considured abandonment if the couple lives overseas and the wife takes the children back to her parents house (WY), then files for devorce. She is the one wanting a devorce. And she cant afford to live by herself overseas. So she is thinking her best option is to move back in with her parents. The husband has never hit her, they just do not get along anymore.

If the residence was overseas and you want to argue that she abandoned husband, then you'd have to deal with foreign law-so this site would not be any help.

If, OTOH, residence was US, how could she be abandoning husband by going back home?

Why were they overseas? For how long?

That could make a significant difference to any advice given. Depending on the circumstances, the foreign country could have jurisdiction over the children's custody.

Husband is in the military and the wife is a dependent. They are here for another 9 months and she has had enough of his crap.
