Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

do u have to stay at house if you want to be divorced from wife? Am living with a friend and my wife is verbally/harassing me every 30 minutes every single day and night she is also telling me that as a father of a 15 yr old girl that Im abandoning her by not being there for me. is leaving a 15 yr old home alone all night illegal? I cant stand being in the same room with that woman. I have moved out and do come by the house every single day to check on my daughter and everything is good but why do I have to be there every night. I have no idea what to do

I am not sure what moving out has to do with your child. I do not think a 15 year old girl should stay home alone at night, but I can't tell you that is "the law". You need to sit down with a family law attorney in your community and explain everything that is going on to get some guidance. Just because you wife throws around the word abandonment does not mean that moving out equals abandonment.

Good luck.
