If your husband has left you and you have reason to believe this is a case of
desertion you should contact a
Chesapeake divorce lawyer as soon as possible.
Your husband may have expressed his intent to desert you verbally, in writing, or by his actions.
Desertion is one of the most difficult things a woman can go through. It can negatively affect your children and threaten your financial security, and you're left to handle all the fallout on your own.
Even if your relationship with your husband has been rocky and you were considering ending the marriage, you may still feel shocked, hurt, and afraid when he leaves you with no intention of returning.
There are cases in which a
husband leaves home with no intention of going back, but finds out from an attorney that his actions constitute desertion, so he returns to the family home.
When the husband leaves but then decides to come back, the wife may understandably be upset and want him gone, but there is little she can do.
With the exception of domestic abuse cases, Virginia law is not quick to order a person out of the home. A wife's best bet is to take a deep breath, consult with her Chesapeake divorce lawyer, and commit to dealing with her husband being in the home until an alternative plan can be worked out.
Contacting a Chesapeake Divorce Lawyer
Desertion is a scary situation to find yourself in, not to mention angering, so contact a Chesapeake divorce lawyer to take control of your situation. The decision to file for divorce usually comes at the end of a long and painful journey.
In addition to the emotional turmoil involved, there's also a lot of fear and uncertainty about what the future holds.
Concerns about children, mortgages, and even just paying the bills or buying groceries can easily become overwhelming.
A Chesapeake divorce lawyer at Hofheimer/Ferrebee can examine the specifics of your case to help you decide how much support to ask for, what child custody arrangement will work best for you and your children, and how to fairly divide your marital assets.
