Your husbands rights vary from state to state but in California his rights are defined by law according to how the title on the property is held. If he owns half of it then it is half his. Abandonment is defined legally and just because he has deserted the property does not mean he has relinquished any rights legally. You need to look at the law of property abandonment and see if his actions do in fact meet the test for abandonment. If it is truly abondonment as defined by the law then and only then does he truly lose his right to claim any gain from the property but in fact abandons his right to claim. Even under abandonment laws there are still some resopnsibilities of ownership that will always fall on the owner reguardless what state of ownership or lack of exists. i.e., someone get hurt on property...they counld still sue the person who thinks they abandoned the property.

∙ 14y agoWhat "marital rights" are you looking for here? If you're heading for divorce, you need to see a lawyer and ask these questions. If you moved out and abandoned your children and wife, I wouldn't be surprised if she changed the locks and let you deal with your issues on your own. If you're looking for sex, you have bigger issues than can be handled on this website sweetie. My advice is to go to a counselor or a lawyer. Good luck.
