Divorce/ home

[Gemmap222324]

Hello.. I looking for some advice.
I was with my husband 19 year married for 9 of those with 2 children together.. we split up 5 months ago he kicked me out of out bought home and 2 month ago he moved his girlfriend in.. my 14 year old son stopped with him and my 16 year old daughter come with me I had to find a private property. He beat me up so currently not allowed to contact me due to the domestic violence..
Will I get any help with cost of divorce? He living the high life while me and my daughter have nothing and would I be entitled to money from our home? I worked paid bills and all my inheritance went into the home but the mortgage is only in his name. That's was 1 of his controlling behaviours.
Thank you

Yes you are entitled to your share of the assets. Get legal advice. Mumsnet have linked to the AdviceNow guides above, they are great. The fact that it’s only his name on the mortgage is irrelevant.

Go to Women's Aid either via phone or email. They know all the legal stuff re domestic abuse

Like others have said, a domestic abuse charity is a good starting point and should be able to point you in the right direction.

You may be able to get legal aid perhaps so you can get a solicitor and start the divorce process.

What your ex says does not matter eventually (in that divorce can take some time), whereas what the law says does.
