hlpme,
I’m sorry to hear about your situation. Of course I do not know the details of your relationship, but it appears from the facts you’ve presented that, whatever the reason, your husband has decided to separate. All separations do not in divorce, but if yours does, you need to be aware that on the date the divorce judgment is obtained, generally you lose the right to ask the court to award alimony or a property division (called equitable distribution).
