FIRST: get your finances in order and keep them VERY quiet. You are entitles to 1/2 of the house and 1/2 of the equity, 1/2 of his retirement - and don't forget to ask for the cost of living increase that goes with most retirement packages, 1/2 of any stocks or bonds, if you have not worked and been a stay at home wife or mother, he has to send you to school for an education and pay you alimony while you are in school. During your separation he has to pay you alimony and ask for a cost of living wage as well. Keep records of anything wrong he has done, it has to be SOLID proof like pictures or something in his handwriting, get bank statements. When finding out the equity of the house get an appraiser to do the job and make him pay for it. If you want the house do NOT move out. If you can use your cell phone record conversations that you have concerning his girlfriend or anything he is doing. Keep things in your car and remember he is sneaking around looking in your things and you have no privacy. Also you are entitled to 1/2 of his social security when you retire. Good luck
