Divorce laws vary from state to state. Desertion or abandonment with the intention of not returning is grounds for divorce in states that still have fault divorce as opposed to no-fault divorce. Some states differentiate between the two terms with desertion an intent to end the marriage and abandonment being an absence for a certain length of time. You need to check the laws in your state and consult with an attorney who is familiar with those laws.
