QUESTION
What can I do if my wife just suddenly left the house?
Asked on Jan 12th, 2013 on Divorce - Colorado
More details to this question:
Me and my wife had been going through up’s and down in our marriage. We got into a disagreement, called her mother and left town. She did not return until 10 days later, where she took all of her belonging moved out and cancel all of the bills in her name and told me she is not contributing to the bills anymore. She got a change of address, everything. I haven’t seen her within a month. What can I do? And should I get legal counsel?

File for divorce using the date she left as your date of separation. See an attorney to find out your rights. If you have any property, or if spousal support could be an issue, hire an attorney.

File a petition for divorce and get legal counsel, even if just for an hour, to advise you on your rights/obligations/options.

You can and should file for divorce. Yes, you should consult legal counsel to discuss your options and reasonable expectations. That consultation can help you decide if you need to retain an attorney to handle the entire process of divorce for you.
