Divorce Support Forums: Abusive husband, how do I get out of this?

Located in North Dallas

My husband and I have been married for three years (no kids), and he now wants a divorce. He's psychologically abusive and I believe his wanting a divorce is just another mind game, but I'm finally giving in and giving up. Because my plea for counselling has been denied time and again, I'd like to file for divorce.

I have no money, I don't have access to his bank account and I do not work. I don't have access to his vehicle and I don't have a phone available at the house. I have no friends or family nearby. I believe my only shot would be to use his debit card (I'd have one chance before he cuts me off) to pay a lawyer or order divorce papers online.

Emotionally, I would prefer not to deal with lawyers or court.. but I believe it is in my best interest to do just that. Can anyone offer some advice?

EDIT: I would like to have the court order him out of the house for a short time so I could get my things in order. It's nearly impossible doing anything with him here. Would that be possible as well?
