A: Yes she is allowed to leave you. If the camper is marital property l, it belongs to both you so she can use it. She should not sell it or any if your belongings. You can file for divorce and ask for the property to be divided.

A: Is it legal? It is not illegal for a spouse to use what could be construed as marital property. We lack the facts here to determine whether it is logical or reasonable for the wife to believe she was authorized to do so.
