After counseling, police victim advocate and social workers, everyone says leave, but due to no recent physical abuse (tons of verbal, neglect, antagonistic mentally cruel treatment daily), and due to his income being included though we've lived separately for 2.5 years. I cannot qualify for separate low income facilities. ( no legal separation in Fl or TX) Because we are still married. I was asked by my 17 yr old and told to come back with my failing health, and I truly missed my daughter.. so it was agreed, I came to live with them (he and my daughter in Texas) Completely broke, cannot afford health care ( cancer, diabetic, hbc, vision etc.) The good thing is, I am a veteran and part of my service connected disability has granted me some care. I need full coverage which he has with the military. He just retired. We have a home but I cannot afford it without a roommate,(idea which he dissapproves of). I am not in the best of health, I just want to be free of this without making myself homeless or lose what is left of what I own. I have been selling my things to survive, and I work part time as I can at my job on which I make a pitance. If anyone really knows how to solve a quagmire let me know.

I think your best option at this point would be to sit down and have a consultation with a family law attorney in your area; many of them will do free consults. There could be any number of things which could work for OR against you. For example: did you work during the marriage? Who was the child's primary caregiver? Are you now legally disabled? The list goes on and on and on. All of these things play into what you may or may not be granted financially in a divorce.

There are too many ifs, ands or buts in this situation for us to give you an accurate answer over the Internet.
