If she needs the money in order to move out, then holding the money until she moves out will defeat getting her out quickly. It also appears that she is not working right now, so I am going to guess that she will need the money in order to move out.
That can be worked out in court. e.g., $5,000 now, the balance after the move-out is complete, with move-out to be completed by [date].

The court might be asked to also order that any items of personal property left on the home after [date] be deemed abandoned by the vacating spouse.
