desertion

Read a random definition: rei interventus

A quick definition of desertion:

Desertion means leaving someone you are supposed to take care of, like a spouse or child, on purpose and without their permission. It can be a reason for divorce or for a court to let someone else adopt a child if a parent has left them for a long time and doesn't want to take care of them anymore.

A more thorough explanation:

Desertion is when someone intentionally abandons their responsibilities or obligations, especially towards their spouse or child.

For example, in some states, desertion is considered a valid reason for divorce. This means that if one spouse leaves the other without their consent and with the intention of staying apart permanently, it can be grounds for divorce.

Similarly, in cases of child abandonment, desertion refers to a parent who willingly neglects their duties towards their child. This can include not providing financial support, not spending time with the child, or not fulfilling any other parental responsibilities.

Desertion can also be used as a basis for granting adoption. If a parent has deserted their child for a specific period of time, the court may grant adoption to another party who is willing to take on the responsibilities of being a parent.

Overall, desertion refers to the intentional abandonment of responsibilities towards a spouse or child, and can have legal consequences in various contexts.
