Christopher Meloni, the actor who plays Elliot, could not come to an agreement over his contract and had to be written out of the program. According to the script, he quit the force. We don't get to see him, the plot development is handled with conversations between the other characters. However, I note that they didn't 'kill him off', so perhaps when a deal can be made, he may pop up again as a guest.
Season 12 ended with a girl with a gun shooting people in the squad room, so Det. Stabler shot and killed her. But during the hiatus between season 12 and 13, Christopher Meloni, the actor who plays Stabler, could not negotiate a new contract for season 13 of SVU. The script handled the situation by saying that Stabler had quit over the incident. Elliott didn't appear, his resignation was discussed by the other characters so we would know why he wasn't there. That's a good sign because they didn't kill him off. It's possible that, if he can negotiate a contract for guest appearances we may see him on the show again.

Detectives Benson and Stabler were partners for twelve seasons of Law and Order SVU. Season 12 ended with a girl with a gun shooting people in the squad room, so Detective Stabler shot and killed her. But during the hiatus between season 12 and 13, Christopher Meloni, the actor who plays Elliott Stabler, could not negotiate a new contract for season 13 of SVU.

Mariska Hargitay's best friend is Christopher Meloni. They have been the 2 lead detectives on Law and Order SVU for over 12 years. She often says that she loves him and that they are like a married couple. Hargitay plays Detective Olivia Benson and Meloni portrays Detective Elliot Stabler. Olivia will be on the 13th season on Law and Order SVU but Elliot has decided him time is up at SVU and is leaving. :(
Stabler was shown having to use deadly force. In one incident, a corrupt police officer raised his weapon at Stabler in fear of being caught, forcing Stabler to shoot him. (SVU: "Risk") At another time, Stabler shot a suspect who was threatening to shoot his hostage despite the suspect's willingness to work the situation out with Benson. (SVU: "Debt") The third time was when he shot Jenna Fox, a girl who opened fire in the precinct in retaliation for her mother's rape and murder. (SVU: "Smoked")
There is no episode in which Detective Stabler leaves. That drama played out behind the scenes. In the final episode of season 12 called 'Smoked', there is a shootout in the squad room at the end of the episode which forces Stabler to shoot someone. Before the start of filming season 13, Christopher Meloni was unable to come to a contract agreement for the next season, so he dropped out of the series. The first episode for season 13, 'Scorched Earth', Stabler never appeared, his absence was discussed by the squad to let us know that Stabler had quit due to the shooting incident.
Elliot Stabler and his wife Kathy have five children, Maureen, Kathleen, twins Richard and Elizabeth, and baby Elliot Jr. (called Eli) who was born in season 9 (2007).
