Physical separation from an abusive environment is the first action. Do not subject yourself to injury.
Title of the real estate and other marital asset division should be discussed with an attorney. He may likely acquire legal representation which should not cause you to relinquish your action to seek what is legally yours. His pension is subject to division and you need to understand the various matters involved with acquiring your interest.
Child custody is based on the best interest of the child. I would like to discuss many matters relating to custody. Your ability to provide for parental support of your child is essential. Financial support is can be provided through wage garnishment if neccessary.
You situtation requires several aspects of legal action, contact me to discuss.
