In my opinion going for a free consultation will help you better understand what your options are. Look at it as fact finding mission. Doesn't mean that you have to go forward with anything today or tomorrow.
Financial issues are primary, having money of your own, if you do not have a job, it may be time to start looking, even if it only ends up being a part time job, it will help. Gather all important documents. Record all his behavior, keep a journal by date.
The bottom line is, try and be prepared for whatever comes your way.
