Cannot tell from the facts presented but probably. Get an attorney, file for divorce and get an order in place before the circumstances change.

Her leaving may affect child custody but will not affect the equal division of community property and debts.

The judge will look at what community property exists and what is in the best interests of the children, then the judge will make a decision based on all the facts.

She may be entitled to something, but without more detail it is difficult to determine. It is difficult to estimate the cost of a divorce since there are a number of factors involved. Filing fees are close to $300.00 and service of process may be $100.00. or more.

In SC, there are several factors which weigh into a divorce and any potential outcome of it which are not listed here. You should consult with a local attorney as soon as possible regarding this matter.

Have you considered Mediation? Mediation is Fast, Effective and Affordable. The only problem is that BOTH spouses must agree before it can happen. If mediation is not something that can be done, I suggest you retain an attorney.

She would be entitled to an equitable division of property, although these facts will weigh in making that determination. You should consult with an attorney to discuss further and learn what you can expect.

Divorce depends on attorney. Retainer generally $2500 to $3500. She should pay half bills as of when she left and maybe pay some child support. See an attorney.

It depends upon the financial circumstances and length of the marriage, and the assets owned. The cost of a divorce is directly proportional to the amount of agreement that the parties can come to regarding the issues between them. Without knowing all of the facts that we need to know, it is impossible for an attorney to give you much legal advice at all.
