[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Maryland, does it hurt you if you move out and leave a spouse and kid behind? My Ex did this, and I’m wondering if my lawyer should have worked this angle.[/quote]

Worked this angle how? Someone has to move out eventually. What did you expect him to do? [/quote]

OP would be on the other side of this if he just ups and leaves without the kids. Will a judge penalize him wrt alimony, child support, splitting assets, or something else? Does his wife have anything to gain if she can show abandonment?[/quote]

No. There is no “abandonment” if one person moves out in order to initiate or continue a required one year separation. What in the world are you all talking about. [/quote]

This is true in Howard County.  I left without the kids but was constantly trying to see them, with DW blocking any access.  Meanwhile my lawyer was pushing for an immediate hearing and sending letters to DW's lawyer trying to set up mediation or a parenting plan.  When the judge saw that the other side was unresponsive to all this, and that I had witnesses who testified that ex was blocking my access to the children, the judge said, "Not abandonment, and it looks like the mother is gate keeping."  It was all downhill for her from there.  She didn't get the house, or alimony, or custody.

You ladies need to update your playbooks.  Judges are onto your old tricks of driving a father away from the home and his children, and then shrieking "Abandonment!"
