First let me say - I AM IN MARYLAND- since I aggravated someone before by not making that clear enough 
I am just reposting this since I am afraid it will get skipped below....
I have been married for 1 year and 3 months. We have two children together, a 3 year old and a ten month old. My husband is both verbally and emotionally abusive to me. I have no access to money, credit cards, bank accounts, NOTHING. He had me quit my job before the birth of our 2nd child, and refuses to allow me to return to work. I honestly feel like a prisoner. The problem is, I have NO access to money to get an attorney to file for a legal seperation, then divorce. Do I have ANY options at all?? Any hope? I have called two attorneys who both wanted $375.00 upfront just to talk to me. I have no family to turn to for help (no family that can afford to help me that is). Can my husband be required to pay my legal fees??? Also, if I were to file for seperation, can he be forced to leave the house so that the kids and I can stay? How is that determined?? I'd appreciate ANY input/advice. Thanks.
