Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

No support

I've only a high school education, been married for 16 years, 2 kids, no job. My husband is very controlling and degrading towards me. I don't know how I can make it on my own, no family lives in this state. The kids schools are wonderful so I don't want to move. Husband drinks 14 beers each day of weekend. How can I get him to move out? Or do I move out with kids? And how would I support myself and children? Could husband cancel credit cards? Freeze bank accounts? I have no knowledge becasue husband always handles the finances. What should be my first step to getting myself on the right path for a better life?
