What do I do?

What is the name of your state? NC

I am planning to leave my husband of 6 years. I have two small children (4 & 5) that I am taking with me. He has no idea of my leaving yet. I know that as soon as I do leave I need to file for a emergency temp custody order. My question is do I need to file for a legal seperation as well? Or can I just do one thing at a time. I don't really have the money to attain a lawyer, but I don't want to do things backwards. I haven't spoken to my family since we got married so I would be doing this on my own. I will try to get a loan if need be, but I want to be sure before I go any further.

It will all be done at the same time. Temp custody/visitation, separation, and CS. When you hire an atty, he/she will file this together.

I wouldn't be able to file for an emergency temp custody order without an attorney?

You can, but it really isn't the wisest thing to do.
