My wife is threatening me with abandonment if I move out of the house, can she do this even if I am paying child support and daycare?

My wife asked for a divorce. She wants the house in the divorce. I want to move out. I told her I will go ahead and pay child support (agreed amount) and the daycare. She is threatening me with abandonment because she wants me to pay the house note. Will I hurt my case if I move out?
