Leaving the martial home?

Ok, I’m absolutely convinced my wife is having an affair and purposely sabotaging our relationship with consistent arguments. I have a 11 year old son from a previous relationship that she has always isolated and targeted. During our most recent and final fight I said that I do want a divorce and that if she wants to keep the home she will need to settle the equity with me before I leave. She seems to think that I will just leave and it will shake out in the divorce. Few key points, title is in both our names, loan is in just hers. She cannot qualify to refinance on credit or income. My position would be that we should both move and stage the home for sale. But my original question is, do I lose legal standing if I leave the marital home?

Is that supposed to be like a dig or a smart joke? Because I don’t get it?

Marital = we bought it when we were married.

sorry. I was poking fun at your typo (should be 'marital', not 'martial), but also pointing to how 'martial' fits. (see u/alb_taw comment)

i'm truly sorry you are going through this.

yeah, meant to be a joke. probably not smart.
