Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

My husband split up with me two days ago. We have been married 7 years, and I have not worked since we married. I am 54 with high blood pressure and a-fib, and am recuperating from stomach surgery. He says he is only giving me $1,000 as a settlement, plus fixing my 15 year old car. He is taking my dog that was a gift from my best friend that I received before we were married. He says I gave him to him, but I never did. I am terrified of becoming homeless. I want to move to another state where I have friends and a good possibility of finding employment that pays enough to support myself on, and that offers benefits so I can continue seeing a cardiologist and treating my health issues. I don't have money to put down on an attorney. What are my rights in a situation like this? He has been emotionally and mentally abusive toward me on and off for our entire marriage.
