Get yourself a tape recorder and record some of his drunken tirades, if your state allows it. In NC, it's okay to record as long as one party knows the tape is rolling. I think it's a crime to do that in other places--Linda Tripp got busted for it in the Lewinsky scandal. Get some evidence.Get your documents together. Income statements, pay stubs, tax returns, credit card statements, etc. Go see a lawyer and find out what the law of your state can do for you.
Don't move out of the residence unless your attorney tells you you can. Abandonment will sometimes open a spouse up to an alimony claim or destroy one which she already has.
Good luck.
