What is the term for desertion of one spouse by the other intending to create a permanent separation?

Separation
Divorce
Abandonment
Dissolution

The correct answer is: Abandonment

Abandonment is the term used when one spouse intentionally leaves the other with the intention of creating a permanent separation. Separation, divorce, and dissolution all involve a legal process and are not necessarily the result of one spouse leaving the other. These options may also involve issues such as property division, custody, and support, whereas abandonment focuses on the act of leaving without any legal proceedings. Thus, abandonment is the most specific and accurate term for this situation.
