Generally where abuse is concerned - you can also demand he pay all court costs, if you can prove the abuse is the cause of the divorce. Sometimes the lawyers will agree to take payment once the case is won - so you may want to check around and ask other lawyers what they would/could do for you - sometimes they don't, in which case you may need to take out a loan but honestly I would not let him railroad you.
