First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

Second, yes a husband can, just as the wife can, decide to move out. They don't even need to file for divorce immediately. It's called a separation.


Third, no you can't "get him for abandonment". Abandonment is not a charge it's a ground. However, you can file for divorce and ask for an emergency order of support if you can't afford to maintain the household on your own. You can cite abandonment as grounds for asking for the divorce.

I would strongly urge consulting a divorce attorney.

I did not hear or see where you mentioned any children?
But yes a husband or wife is free to move out if they want to.
