What you are ultimately entitled to depends on any number of factors. You will need to determine custody, and along with that child support. You say he has a house, is that the home you live in? If so, you will be entitled to a portion (possibly 50%) of the equity in the home. Depending on why you quit working 7 months ago, you might be entitled to some spousal support. The vehicles will be divided with some consideration given to the values of the vehicles and the lease.
Based on what you say, you don't have an attorney. That is a big mistake in a custody dispute. There are preferences for "joint custody" which may not be best in your case. As such, you need to prepare to vigorously assert your custody claims and concerns to do what truly is in the child's best interests.
Your situation involves major factual and procedural issues. These are issues that we can discuss. If you are interested in pursuing the matter further, I off an initial 1/4 hour consultation without charge, and a 1/2 hour consultation for $50. If you want to set an appointment for the initial consultation, feel free to telephone, or email, my office; if you are outside of the Salt Lake area, we can handle all of this by phone.
Don't wait any longer, give a call and let's getting working to protect you and your children.
