What happens if he won't leave?

What happens if he refuses to leave?

undefinedWhat is the name of your state? I reside in Louisiana. I am contemplating asking my husband to leave as I think our marriage needs some time apart. We have been married for 17 years, three children, 16, 12 and 10. When I ask him to leave, I can almost bet he will say, "If you are THAT unhappy and want a separation, then YOU pack YOUR bags and go." What if he won't leave? I don't want to interrupt my children's lives and I do far more for them than he does. I want them to remain in the house. If he won't leave, and I am forced to do so for awhile, could I be cited for abandonment (of my children)? PLEASE help as I need some answers!!

Never leave your children. That estabishes the other parent with defacto custody.
