What is the name of your state? Virginia
I desperately need out of my marriage. I know you have to have grounds for divorce in VA, but you can also do a separation agreement. During a marriage can you go to your spouse and inform him that you are moving without first having a separation agreement? I mean just tell him that you are not happy here and that you and the kids will be moving to another area, not even specifying divorce. If not, can I move out of state with my two children from this marriage during the separation? Or, can I move before the separation agreement is made? I don't want to have abandonment issues. Someone told me that even if you abandon your husband that the only thing that would be affected by that is spousal support. I find that hard to believe and feel that a judge would not look favorably upon a spouse who abandoned her spouse and that might affect child custody, etc. Please define mental cruelty. I have heard that it almost has to be to the point of physical cruelty and that it is very hard to prove.
