More details to this question:
Hi, My husband told me last week that he wants a divorce. He is moving out in April so we can be "separated" and try and work on our marriage. This is where my question comes in. Legally what obligations does my husband have to me? He is planning on moving in with some guys while I get the apartment with all of the bills. I love him, I do not want to hurt him. I do want him to realize the consequences for his actions. What do I need to do at this point? I also heard that there is some type of an abandonment law for him leaving me? Just trying to learn as much as I can. Thank you so much for your time!
