[quote=Anonymous]Your bigger problems are going to be custody issues.
 Of course you can support yourself. Start figuring that part out now. Start looking into higher paying career options and begin training/networking now - without your husband knowing if possible. Can you get a sitter a couple of afternoons a week and go to the public library to get online? 
If you don't have time or the ability to prepare for a career shift now then at least prepare yourself for the divorce process. It might be possible to get alimony for a few years so that you can train for a higher paying profession. 
Obviously you need to seek legal assistance - but this is also very costly. Perhaps there are social services or low cost legal aid services in your area? The lower earning spouse often suffers financially in divorce. 
My personal advice would be to take every possible step to prepare yourself to be more financially - and otherwise -  independent.  Regardless of a judges order, an angry ex spouse might not be of much value as a source of income or a co-parent. Sad but true. You need to get strong. [/quote]
