My spouse and I are not getting along and I’m planning to move out of the home. Is moving out a wise thing to do?

Whether moving out of your house is a “wise thing to do” in terms of strategy for a dissolution depends on several factors, including but not limited to: (1) whether you intend (and are able to afford) to retain the house as your separate property as part of the marital settlement agreement; (2) whether you have a child or children; (3) whether one parent has been the primary caretaker of the child/children; and (4) whether you have the financial ability to maintain an additional residence during the dissolution proceeding. Contact an experienced family law attorney before moving out of the house.
