Divorce Support Forums: I have had it and don't know what to do..

Okay, I think I need some clarification. My husband is NOT paying any bills. I am still expected to pay electric, all activities, food for children, ect. He pays NOTHING. And yes, I think he knows that I am really thinking of leaving this time. Just last night I asked him to pay for some groceries and he, in front of the children, said NO. He tries to get my seven year old against me by using MY money to purchase him Nintendo, take him out to the arcade, etc. I just changed the account so that we are separate because he was using MY hard earned money to purchase junk. He came home last night and announced that he is taking his one week ski vacation this year. He needs to save up for HIS vacation. No, my savings are used up to put him through school. And he never disciplines, feeds, bathes, etc. the kids. I have to take the kids to the pool because he would never do such a thing. Maybe I let this go too far, hoping it would get better. He has always been self absorbed in everything. Really, I planned to leave once he was done with school thinking I did my duty to help him. Once his friend killed himself I felt a bit sorry for him. Not now, not at all. I am an attorney and know what I can get in a divorce. I may be the only person that's financial outlook would improve upon a divorce. Also, I could force him to at least do more that NOTHING he does now. The problem is he will not leave this house. I cannot force him to, not at this stage. I will have to rent a house in the area and take the kids which would be difficult for my seven year old.
