Need advice on ending marriage and not making DH kick off again. Should I leave our house?

Hi, I’m hoping someone can advise me.
Me and DH have been together 9 years, married 5, we have 2 dc together (4&5) and I have 2 dc from previous marriage who live with us (10&11).
We bought our house as joint tenants in May, he is emotionally and financially abusing me abd DC, I need to leave.
I have viewed rental properties today but I’m wondering if there is any way me and dc could stay in our home? The children will reside with me and have contact with DH once a week. I know he won’t leave by choice or quietly. I could afford to pay the mortgage on my own. So could he.

Any advice would be greatfully received.

Many thanks

You will have to divorce him and apply for a financial remedy order. If the court either transfers the hose to you, or allows you to remain in the hose to his exclusion |||(eg while the children are being schooled), you get to stay in the home. You'll get child maintenance via CMS (google CMS calculator and put in the figures) and may be entitled to benefits (look at www.entitledto.co.uk )

Forgot to mention - depending on his income you may also get spouse maintenance. You'll need legal advice (i.e. not from here).

Thank you collaborate
I have just spoken to a solicitor and she advised me not to leave the house. I have an appointment on Monday for an initial consultation.
