What should my first step be? I have been in an abusive marriage for 10 years. Mainly verbally but sometimes physically. I am imprisoned at home and am not permitted to do anything or go anywhere without him. I must sit with him at all times and meet his every need. I am so sad and have finally developed the courage to seek a divorce. I am worried about my financial picture. Only the house is in both names, everything else is in his, even my car. I am worried that when he finds out about this he MAY become physically enraged and try to harm me and destroy everything. Do I tell my attorney about his abuse of me? Can I handle this without telling the world? I live in Florida and do not know what to do. I have a good job and can afford to live on my own in a modest way, but that is better than enduring the pain any longer.
