Colleen,
Don't leave the house, unless you inform the neighbors that you are taking the children to visit your parents. (Witnesses later)
Verne is right, everything turns into a battle. If you leave the house, his lawyer will try to say that you "abandoned" your husband and the right to "keep" the house will be granted to him and you will be asked to pay HIM off to keep a roof over your childrens' heads.
He will also try to use your mental health against you, so PLEASE see a lawyer and don't do ANYTHING that could be construed as "emotional".
I lost my home, my child, and my money. It no longer matters if you're the "mom", at all.
I am trying not to "scare" you- simply to help educate you-- Gosh, divorce is an ugly, ugly, ugly thing to go through, although the freedom from abuse is worth it in the long run...
