Divorce Support Forums: Divorce and Custody

I am fed up with my husband's antics. I want out and asap. We have 2 kids, and I don't want him getting custody. We have been together 5 years in August and married 3 years in December. He has a constant battle with alchol, and recently fouled up in to some more serious issues. He is constantly degrading me in front of the kids and has started getting physical again. I am a SAHM. I have no problem getting a job, but I have no where for my kids and I to live. As long as I am here I won't be allowed to get a job or continue with college. MY question is are there any govt programs that may help me without having to put my kids in a shelter. I lived in the Covenant House 2003 - 2004 because of my husbands nasty habits and me being stupid and putting up with it. I don't want him getting custody or his family so I have to play this really really smart. He is in the army, and deploys back to Iraq soon. He has told me numerous times he is going to put our cars in storage and only send me $300.00 a month when he is over there. I have a two y/o and a 6 m/o. PLease if anyone has any advice let me know I am at my wits end.
