Dear Archie: Greetings. The answer is no. Filing for divorce from bed and board is an action requesting that the court remove one of you from the marital residence, not a license to kick someone out.

If my wife were to travel to another part of the country, for the sole reason to continue an affair, would that be abandonment?
