Albany, NY asked in Divorce for New York

Q: Can my "wife" refuse to leave an apartment that is supposed to be vacated on the 17th even if we are not divorced?

We haven't started the divorce process yet, but the Army is relocating our belongings, and she says that she will refuse to leave the apartment and also come after me for taking "marital property" when the apartment has to be vacated. Also since she is moving to FLorida would I have to pay for her travel down there as well as moving all of her belongings down there and storage?
