I would also look into cancelling any additional credit accounts you have like store cards etc.
The only form of debt we share is a joint mortgage and nothing else (no credit cards, no line of credit, etc.) which does simplify things for me a bit. I guess the key financial question that boils down for me is inclusion of assets (car, my first home) that I purchased before the marriage - I will contact a few lawyers this week to but I am not sure how willingly they will share this info if I am just shopping around.
For the time being, I won't be moving out until advised by a lawyer otherwise.

NFP is a net family property statement that details thr assets each of you brought into the relationship. The cars would be listed as assets you brought into the marriage.
And definitely agree on not moving out, this can make the process substantially more difficult and is rarely ever recommended.

From what I understand he can move back anytime he likes, she can't change the locks or deny him entry. It is his property.
Just because you have a right to be there, establishing that after you've moved out and police are involved is very difficult and something you want to avoid at all costs.
Moving out before things are settled is a last resort and shouldn't be recommended unless there are exceptional circumstances and only on a lawyer's advice.
