First off, do not move out. Sorry to say that, but if you move out things will get more complicated with the house. Talk to an attorney. If you are in danger, talk to an attorney.
I would start by consulting with an attorney and getting some advise specific to your facts and situation. There is also some information available on our website regarding Equitable Distribution. The first step in getting a divorce is starting your separation and to do that, you actually need to live separate and apart. If he is willing to move out, that would resolve some of your issues.
