The simple answer to your question is that the only way to sue your husband is in the context of a divorce. You cannot, for instance, stay married to him and sue him as a Defendant as you would sue a contractor who did bad work in your home. Only option is a divorce.
However, the act of moving out on its own does not constitute abandonment. The spouse alleging abandonment typically has to prove that there was a total cessation of practical support and financial contributions.
In California, the question of Can I sue my spouse? sometimes comes up during divorce or separation. Civil claims between spouses are allowed but there are also restrictions, especially during family law cases.
With the right evidence, such as photographs, records, witness testimony, and documentation of the distressing behavior, you can build a compelling case. Emotional distress claims are an important legal recourse for those who have suffered psychological harm due to an ex-spouses actions.
You file a motion in the same court that heard (or is still hearing) your case, and the same judge is likely to consider the motion. Filing a motion wont open a new case. Because a motion adds more information, prompts arguments and poses more questions for the court to decide, it will make your case take longer.
