Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I am planning to separate from my husband of 2 years due to emotion and verbal abuse. I have been working at my job for 17 years in which I will be loosing due to the plant closure. I will be receiving a severance package and I would like to know if I separate or eventually divorce if any of that money will go to my husband and if so is there something I can do to make sure that he does not get it?

If you have a 401 or other retirement plan, then 2 years of that could be equitably divided, the other maybe not. YOu have not been married for a long duration and I doubt that he really is entitled to anything. Florida is an equitable distribution state, so if he contributed, he gets something.
