You could also try checking law schools to see if they have any clinics where law students get to practice (before they go.. into.. practice...) (my mom runs one that's for non profits).
Lynn, I have to be honest, I am so, so grateful for your inner strength. Not only do you provide amazing love and support for your daughters, but you bring so much to PC. I value every post you make, every question you answer in Q&A, simply everything you do for us.
We're trying to be here for you, just as much as you're here for everyone.

Thank you for your kind words and advice RomanSunburn - yes I could seek legal advice but since we're not in a good state financially, if we split it would plunge us deeper financially. ATM I live in a nice house and I know he would want to sell it if I make him move out, because he's struggling to pay the mortgage. He's not about to continue paying the mortgage if he moves out. This means we would end up in an apartment - big change to go from owning to renting. There aren't any assets to be divided sadly ATM
The one positive thing is, his room is one the other side of the house. He works late so I don't have to spend hardly any time with him. He clearly knows I don't want to live together anymore and I'm hoping he'll eventually want to leave...especially since I told him I would be civil. I know all you want to help me and I wish I could get out. I always say if I won the lottery I would immediately get out - I would even give him half lol. I wish I could get inside his head - it must be hard living with someone who doesn't want you there. Sometimes I feel guilty because I can get out and follow the caring advice I get here.
