More details to this question:
I am married for 19 years. Husband wants to take early retirement in another state. He has been the breadwinner so to speak. How am I going to have financial security when he leaves? I will not be leaving. Is it best to stay married on paper or best for me if we divorce? We are still making payment on a home, car, etc. He has a small retirement fund.

It seems to me that you should make an appointment for a consultation with an attorney that specializes in Family Law, before moving forward in any direction. Your question requires specific information before it can be properly answered.

The only reason to stay married would be to secure health insurance. If married 19 years you will get half of all the marital assets.
