Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

divorce, Richard Sher

But what if the wife tries to ask for Alimony when she is the one that has decided to leave the family? Even though she hasn't actually left, since she wants the husband to do it first. If it is under constructive desertion, would she be granted alimony?
