No. You may be required to pay her spousal support. She'll have to go to court and get an order.

While Mr. Lemmons is correct regarding the payment of spousal support. You have a legal duty to support your wife. If she lacks sufficient funds to provide for a place to stay you would be well advised provide her with a place to stay. The court will take a dim view of you allowing her to be homeless.
