If you have decided that it's time for a Divorce, you can file on grounds of adultery. Unfortunately, it seems likely the home will be his sole property, but there are exceptions to the rule. In any divorce, you and your husband basically have to each decide whether you can come to an agreement you both can live with, or if you are going to have a judge sort out some or all of your issues. An agreement will save you time, many thousands of dollars, and a lot of heartache. However, you can't sing with someone who won't sing with you, and the courts and judges will decide things for you.  If your Husband is violent, you can and should file for an Order of Protection from Domestic Violence. That is something you can do without a lawyer, though certainly any lawyer will recommend you hire a lawyer if you have any way to. Also, in many cases if domestic abuse is present, Legal Aid will assist. I don't know their exact guidelines, but you are able to use a computer to find information, so I'd encourage you to research that option if you need it. An Order of Protection can at least make sure you have a house to live in, even if it's in your Husband's mother's name, while you sort things out. It can also help prevent him from bothering you duing a divorce process.
