Keeping the house in a separation

Keeping the house in a separation

Hello. I am a wife and the sole bill payer in the
household. I have a husband who has become
increasingly verbally/emotionally abusive and has
began making death threats. He works part-time but
still has not helped with the bills, and just uses the
money he makes on alcohol. I want to know how I
would go about a separation where I can keep the
house.
