Can I leave my home and not loose my rights?

Some times I feel like walking out of my house (marriage), but I keep hearing that if I leave I could loose all my rights on the property or for that matter on everything. How can I go about a divorce?

You do not lose any property rights by leaving the residence. You are still responsible for one half of the mortgage and taxes, etc, while you own the property however. This is usually settled by one party compensating the other party for their share of the expenses in the event the property is sold.

Another thing to consider: personal items tend to disappear after you leave the home. That is a frequent reality of that type of situation.
