Question about divorce law and desertion?

If a wife discovers that her husband has been spending money in brothels and decided to leave and file for divorce, would she be considered as deserting her family if she leaves because he won't. She has asked him to leave, but he refuses and there is so much tension that it's not good for the children. In order to alleviate the stress and the fighting she has offered to leave and stay with a friend but she is afraid that the courts will think she left just to leave, and award him custody. What is the law on this subject?

Update:

Also, is there an amount of time she can be gone before it would become a problem for her? She can live in the area so she is close to her family and home as well as her pets which she would need to care for. Her children are also teenagers, not babies.

Thank you for your reply and no it's not the husband. It's the wife.

    No, she has Not Deserted in this case.

    If the husband is wondering this, then he is a fool.

    i'm a conservative male and not in favour divorce as a common selection for ladies human beings. yet, i do no longer approve of any degree for removing of divorce from the statute e book. on a similar time as I salute Indian lady hood for nurturing the motherhood and the values of the kinfolk existence, by skill of cutting-edge technique different suffering, we've come to some extent the place we'd desire to declare 'adequate is adequate'. they might desire to now no longer be pushed around with out any selection from a hopeless concern. In deserving situations, they might desire to have the liberty to return out of a hopeless marriage. i think of the society is so replaced that they now no longer evaluate divorce as an immoral act and a taboo.
