If I leave my home as part of a trial separation am I sacrificing my rights to the home?

My wife and I are going to enter into a trial separation. The best thing for my
child would be for my wife to remain in the marital property and I would go stay
with a family member.

Would I be sacrificing my claim to the equity in the marital property in the case
of a future legal separation or divorce?

Would I be sacrificing my claim to keep the marital property in the case of a
