There are really two issues here. One is a legal divorce, the other is a scriptural divorce. If the innocent mate chooses, they may wish to obtain a legal divorce in order to protect themself financially, or even to collect alimony and/or child support. However, such a divorce would not be recognized by the congregation as grounds to re-marry. The only grounds for divorce that Jesus gave at Matthew 19:9 is fornication, meaning that if the guilty party has not committed fornication, the innocent mate would not be free scripturally to re-marry.
If you live in a state that requires significant "cause" for the divorce, abandonment is a good one. If you live in a "no fault" state, you don't have to have a reason. Find out what your state requires and go from there.
Cheating is cheating no matter where it occurs and (with proof or uncontested) is still a legal cause for divorce. Abandonment is a different issue, particularly if your husband was in military service in Iraq. If the abandonment happened when he came back, that is another story.

I think officially after the divorce is final... although many times that sort of thing is the cause of the divorce, so few people seem to abide by it.
no, the people who divorce each other are the cause of their own divorce. if a parent or both parents want to blame their children or in some cases child for the divorce than they are not taking responsibility for their own actions. divorce is the result of a failed or disappointing marriage. marriages can sometimes be abusive or lacking in mutual affection or desire. therefore, the result at best is divorce and at worst prolonged hardship endured by both partners and the children.
In Louisiana, abandonment by a noncustodial parent is generally defined as the failure to provide for a child's emotional and financial support, as well as a lack of contact or communication with the child for a significant period. Specifically, if a noncustodial parent does not visit, communicate, or support the child for at least six months without just cause, it may be considered abandonment. Additionally, if the parent has expressed an intention to abandon the child or has not taken steps to maintain a relationship, this can also contribute to an abandonment claim. Legal proceedings may be required to formally establish abandonment in court.
