That is. it is usually the wife

but from a legal point of view
protection against desertion is
equally available to either spouse
What constitutes desertion,
however, varies from State to

Differs From Separation
In most Jurisdictions it is
pretty we'll settled law that de-
sertion is not the same thing as
a mutual agreement to live
apart. The latter is separation,
as distinguished from desertion.
And one of the important ele-
ments of desertion is that the
party charging it must stand
ready at all times to take his OF
her spouse back into the domes-
tic fold again. In other words,
if the prodigal husband or wife
has change of heart and wants
to come home, that must be per-
