Leaving husband with no job or house

I can’t bare living any longer with my husband. He is emotionally abusive and I want to leave. He is a lawyer, the house is his.

I don’t want to stay as I don’t think I have any right to stay at his place where he rightfully owns.

I am very fearful that he will request full custody over our son if I leave. can anyone shed any light how that works please.

Every time we argue or I tell him I will leave, he always is adamant I should get a job first. I’m starting to think if that will be in favour of him if we divorced?

I want to go to the citizen’s advice bureau or a solicitor for some advice. Will there been any record of this anywhere?

I don’t want anything from him!! I am prepared to leave with just the back on my clothes and son.

please think what’s best for you and your child long term, having half the house will offer you some security long term and is rightfully yours. I suspect you’re willing to leave with just the shirt on your back because he’s emotionally abusive and has manipulated you but please go through professionals who can guide you properly.

You're married. The house belongs to both of you, not him.

Don't be put off getting legal advice by the fear of him finding out. You must speak to a professional and understand your options.

Could I ask, in marriage is everything everything jointly owned?
A car for example, in only one person's name, bought outright during a marriage, but only one person drives it?
