If you only take what is yours (1/2), you should be okay. It would be hard for him to cry foul if all you took was what belongs to you by law.

You should also talk to a divorce attorney immediately. Absolutely immediately, as in today if possible. You need to protect your assets and put your affairs in order for filing. The unfortunate truth is that usually when your spouse comes to you and says they are leaving you, they have been planning it for some time and the assets can disappear fast.
