Your cannot prevent your wife from leaving the United States irrespective
of what her true intentions may be, and under Virginia law her mere leaving
of this country in and of itself would not be legally construed, i.e., interpreted, as the abandonment of the marital home.
From the facts you've presented thus far in this question (as well as the
somewhat awkward manner in which you've done so) would suggest to me
that you'd be well advised to seek a consultation with a Virginia attorney
who handles domestic relations matter and who should be able to further advise
you in this matter.
