Can you keep your home if the spouse abandoments you?

Whether you can keep your home after a spouse abandons you depends on various factors, including your state's divorce laws, property ownership, and whether the home is considered marital or separate property. In many cases, if the home is marital property, both spouses may have a claim to it. However, if you can demonstrate that you have been the primary caretaker or have financial means to maintain the home, it may strengthen your case to retain it. Consulting a family law attorney can provide specific guidance based on your situation.
