What does my friend need to do if she leaves her husband tonight

[pellmell]

That's it really. He is never available to sit down with her and discuss future due to being drunk.

She does not earn enough money to rent somewhere but wants to get away.

They have a house and a mortgage.......
Sadly (for her) they have no children.

He is an angry man and will try to make her go with only the clothes on her back.

What does she need to do immediately?

Especially important is the fact that he spends a lot on credit cards. How does she protect herself now?

Sorry this is a rubbish post but I'm rushing x

Is it urgent she leaves tonight?
Can she wait until he is out tomorrow?
Sorry she is in this situation.

She'll need to take passport and documents like that too. Where is she going? Not specifically, of course, but does she have somewhere safe to go, like a friend? Or is she stepping into her future all unknowing? She'll want stuff like a phone, books, clothes etc.

she came to my house this aftenoon and nearly fell asleep on my sofa. She looked so ashen and tired.
I knew she was planning on leaving him and has been looking for a cheap place to rent. Things became a bit nasty last night and he gave her the impression that she would have to leave with nothing.
I don't know what to advise her to do ???
She has a low paid part time job ....has been a carer for her fil who came to live with them because he had dementia (but has now died) and has recently gone through two lots of ivf.
Just before xmas she came to stay here to get away from her husband but agreed to go back because she was scared of what would happen if she left. He agreed to go to relate and go to counselling etc but has done nothing.
Anyway it is all too much and he is constantly drunk.
What are her rights on the house if he owned a property befor their marriage. They have been married 10 years?
