What is your status if spouse abandons marriage?
There are generally two types of abandonment, when dealing with a spouse in court. The first is considered Willful Abandonment (this might be called something else in your state/location). This is where the spouse has left the domicile in which the couple resides, and does not return. The second is called Constructive Abandonment, where the spouse is not actually involved in the relationship anymore but may still reside in the domicile. Factors for this might vary from state to state, but generally would include lack of intimacy or sex, and lack of participation or performance of any other marital duties and responsibilities (for instance, stops paying bills, etc).
If your spouse has abandoned the relationship, and significant amounts of time have passed (say...5 years or more, for example), then you could file most of the paperwork yourself. You may be required to publish the fact you're seeking divorce in a local publication, such as a newspaper, and with the right filings, can proceed with a divorce without incurring lawyer fees. However, if you are not comfortable or knowledgeable about this process, securing some assistance is recommended.
There are multiple factors involved with abandonment, and usually must be an established time between when the party abandons the relationship or domicile, and when you actually are allowed to file for divorce. In some places, such as Virginia, there is one year time period required. Other states may have different laws. In some jurisdictions, there are also provisions for the spouse returning after the desertion takes place, with guidelines about how to resume the relationship or proceed with divorce.
In conclusion, your best course of action is always going to involve discussing your specific case and circumstances with legal council. They will be more familiar with the laws of your state and will be able to advise you on a proper course of action. Even if you decide to pursue without a lawyer after this point, at least you'll be a bit more prepared for the process.

If your verbal agreement was for a lease lasting more than one year, it would have to be in writing to be valid. I Dthat case, the landlord would be able to change his mind, because there was no valid contract in the first place.
If, however, it was for a month-to-month lease, or a lease lasting less than one year, a verbal agreement is sufficient to create a valid contract, and if the landlord cannot change the terms after the contract has been formed, otherwise he is in breach.
However, the answer below is right about one thing: even if the verbal agreement technically constitutes a valid and binding contract, absent any evidence of the agreement or its terms, proving that it was made in the first place will be very difficult.
Whether it's strictly necessary or not, it's ALWAYS a good idea to get agreements like this in writing, signed by both parties, since people tend to conveniently "forget" the terms of verbal agreements when it's convenient.
AnswerYes. A verbal agreement is not a legal contract. If the two of you disagree on something that was said it will be his word against yours, as it is hard to prove otherwise. Always get it in writing! A written contract is vital since it will be legally binding.Statute of limitations in South Dakota for negligence?

How do you clear felony off record in Virginia?
To request an expungement: You must have served the complete term of your sentence - then submit a petition to the court setting forth good reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your complete 'actual' record. Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being viewed by the public. CONVICTED FELONS - CAUTION: If your request is granted, unless you are a resident of a state which completely restores your "rights," your status will still remain that of a 'convicted felon' and you remain subject to any restrictions that status places upon you (voting rights - privilege of holding elective office - gun possession - etc).
