He is verbally abusive and his daughter who he claims all I go is correct her has been both verbally and psyically abusive to me and her brother throughout the last two years to me. Longer to him. We just moved from NV where the police have a record of her being a problem child and documented pictures of the last time she beat on me.

Too much to talk about here, arrange to consult with a lawyer.

Two years of marriage is not much to go on. You may have contributed $4,000.00 but you have lived free from work and on his dime for two years. The best you can do is leave and stop being his maid. let him file for divorce. If you go back to NV and he does not file within 6 months, then you file and get rid of him. You will need to establish residency in the state you move to. If you stay in Florida, he will hound you and make your life miserable. since you have no income, you can apply for a pro bono(free) attorney in the county you live. In the meantime you will need to find a place. Since you stated you are being abused, call Sulzbacher - they will help you find a place to live and help you get your divorce and a job.
