Help! What am I entitled too?

Husband and I separated a few years back but have not yet divorced. I've been in matrimonial home with the kids and hes been paying the mortgage instead of child maintenance. He has now bought another house but wants me to buy him out of matrimonial home or agree to sell. I can not afford to buy him out and he knows this. I also can not afford a home if we sell and split the proceeds as he has borrowed against our home to fund his life and new home. What can I do? I'm lost, I can't afford a solicitor and I don't qualify for legal aid. Does anyone know what I am entitled too with regards to both properties as we are still married? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Second the need to see a solicitor , not sure how common the free interview with a solicitor is now . It is a marketing ploy but doesn’t mean they are necessarily not a decent solicitor . Might be more common in small town firms . It is though a way to get you in the door and get some initial information from you .
