What can I take with me?

Am going to tell DH I want to leave him. He will refuse to leave the family home as he sees it as his.
TBH I am not bothered about staying here.....too many bad memories. Thing is, when I leave, what can I take with me? DCs beds, furniture etc, were all purchased jointly, but he will argue that this stuff should stay as the DCs will need it when they stay with him.
However, I can't afford to buy all new such as furniture, beds, washing machine, and so on.
Where do I stand on this?

It's a grey area. If the children's main home will be with you, I'd say take what you need as furniture for them and a fair share of the other stuff. But you should always try and agree things first.
If he gets home from work one day (after refusing to talk to you about what you can take) to find you've removed a fair half share there would be little he could do, but if he interrupts you removing things he could call the police and IME they would stop you removing anything save for your personal belongings.
What's reasonable also depends on who can afford to replace furniture. If you can but he can't, I could see his point.
