What are my options if my wife just left me and took out 14 year old with her?
I came home from work and my wife left me a note saying that she left. I texted and kept trying to get in touch with her. For a while I got no reply, then she finally texted back saying she wasn’t coming back and if I wanted to be with her she told me I had to come and live where she is. She took my 14 year old daughter with her to another state. Our son is living with my wife’s friend and her family. We decided earlier to let him live there because he was getting in trouble here at home. However, she expects me to just pick up and move at this moment. I have job and the land that my parents left to me (it is in my name). The only thing that’s in both of our name’s is the mobile home I live in. What are my options legally?

You need to consult with a family law attorney in order to establish child custody, visitation and support issues in addition to property matters assuming you and your spouse no longer wish to remain with each other. Such an attorney in your locality can be found on attorneypages.com.
