If the other partner in the relationship returns to the marital home after being absent for many days or even weeks, the first partner was not legally considered to have abandoned the relationship. A spouse is said to have committed spousal abandonment when they forsake their partner without providing an explanation and continue to do so for a certain amount of time, often one year.
