Is there financial assistance available after leaving an abusive relationship if you have 2 children and have a good job but will have to leave with nothing?

You do not have to leave with nothing. I know you probably can't do much while living with the abuser, but get a lawyer. The lawyer will file for a divorce and you are entitled to 1/2 of everything! Go for it! Also, you can go to an Abused Women's Center now, no matter how much money you make, and they will protect you, help you in court, but depending on how much money you make your benefits will be calculated according to the amount of money you bring in. Good luck Marcy
