Re: Constructive Desertion
If the court accepts your version of the events, and especially if you didn't return because you feared for your safety, or your husband physically prevented you from returning (such as by changing the locks, for example), it would more likely constitute constructive desertion on his part.
Constructive Desertion
The wife of a husband who goes on vacation and told by the husband not to come back to the home, will not be penalized if she fails to return. However, NOW, is the time for her to talk to a Divorce Lawyer, like myself, rather than wait. She is entitled to valuable rights, that could be lost if not pursued.
