Burton's Legal Thesaurus. . 2006


desertion
in both English and Scots family law, the unilateral act (usually but not necessarily by leaving the marital home) of one spouse, without the consent of the other, intended to bring cohabitation to an end. Desertion usually involves one spouse physically leaving the matrimonial home, although this is not strictly necessary if all elements of a shared life have ceased. Desertion may be actual or constructive; the latter occurs where one spouse behaves towards the other in such a way that the others is driven to leave. To constitute a ground for divorce, in both jurisdictions, desertion must be followed by two years of non-cohabitation.

Collins dictionary of law. . 2001.


desertion
The voluntary abandonment of one spouse by the other, without the abandoned spouse's consent. Commonly, desertion occurs when a spouse leaves the marital home for a specified length of time. Desertion is grounds for divorce in states with fault divorce. Desertion can also be the basis for a court to grant an adoption where a parent has deserted a child for a specified period of time. (See also: abandonment)
