A stay at home mom need advice

I've been a stay at home mom for 7 years. We have 2 kids. I had no job, I can't drive so I don't have a license but do have a permit my husband never let me use. We live in Kentucky but I want to move to Texas to be with my family but he tells me I can't do it because I don't have any income, it's better to stay together because I can't do anything. Can someone help with some advice on how to get custody of my kids and what my options are about state to state. I need this done

Surely he will have to pay towards your children if you separate anyway? If u can get to live with someone til u get anyone feet my advice is to move out. He sounds controlling and it's no environment for your children let alone you.

His mom wants to take the kids if he doesn't take them from me. I don't have family here at all. It's just me, we've been married for 7 years

Sarah: I agree with the other person. Your husband sounds controlling (and abusive). Try the Domestic Violence Hotline when he's not home. A Judge will decide if you are divorcing and cannot afford a Lawyer. My family helped pay for a Divorce Lawyer and maybe yours can, too. Mostly, custody of the kids is 50/50 these days and the parent cannot leave the State with the kids.
