1. If my spouse has failed to give me money for household expenses for a year, does it amount to desertion?

A mere failure to contribute to household expenses without physical separation does not amount to desertion. Even if there is physical separation, a failure to contribute to household expenses is likely insufficient to constitute an abandonment of the common obligations of the marriage. This is particularly so if there exists a reasonable cause, for example, the spouse was faced with genuine financial difficulties.
