Contact an attorney! Do NOT move out of the home, especially if you have children. Unless of course, he is abusive, then run like hell! Check out this website for some good advice for divorcing moms: http://www.custodyprepformoms.org/dmmsm.htm
Don't worry about where you'll go/job, etc... Rely on your family and friends to get you through this rough patch. That being said, make sure you seek spousal support. Even if you've been married less than 10 years, you are still entitled to temporary spousal support (pendente lite spousal support). Since you were married 2 years, generally you are entitled to half the duration of the marriage (1 year). Of course, state rules may differ, this is why you NEED an attorney. Since you do not work, the judge may order that he pays some or all of your attorney's fees. You will probably need to come up with a retainer fee, but once again, ask your family. Good Luck and God Bless!

You need to see a divorce lawyer NOW. Find yourself a real SOB as they do the best screwing in this type of case.
So much depends on your state of residence, whether or not you have kids and various other factors. Get a lawyer.
