An attorney is a good idea, it will help you move forward.
I did lots of planning and making lists whilst 'hold up' in the spare bedroom. My AH would fall asleep and go to bed early (about 8) so I would 'prowl' around the house making lists of possessions etc and making copies of important paperwork.
My life has completely changed for the better, making the very difficult decision to leave after 23yrs of marriage. It is peaceful, I am slowly getting healthier and its the best thing I have ever done.
Nothing changes if nothing changes!
