Looking for suggestions on what to expect

I've just started reading posts here and thought I could get a good idea of what to expect and what I should be doing by posting with you.
My husband and I will be married for 10 years this coming February. We live in Georgia. We have a 7 year old son and 5 year old daughter. He is 35 yrs old and I am 32. My husband has decided he is sure he wants a divorce and is planning on moving out by the end of this month. He is for the most part a fair man but is just simply not happy with me or our life together. I have convinced him numerous times in the past couple of months to keep trying for a few more weeks and see if his feelings change. They haven't. If he moves out I don't want things to linger on and want to get things finalized as quick as possible. I am a stay at home mom and haven't worked since I was pregnant with my first child (about 8 years ago). I am very involved in my kids schools and very happy with my life the way it is other then our marriage. So much is going to change for me and my kids and I just don't know where to begin with anything. My husband makes about $80,000 a year and with me not working we have always lived on a very tight budget. I certainly do not have any money for an attorney and he doesn't either but he will be able to get money from his parents. He doesn't have a collage education and I have a 2 year associate degree in business but since getting that I haven't done anything with it. I am terrified of finding a way to make it by with money issues by myself and I feel lost at the thought of trying to find a job. My kids are not going to understand this at all, when we are all together we get along as good as possible for our kids sake and I truly do not think they have any idea what's going to be happening. They've always had me home and involved with what they do. My husband works a lot of hours so really isn't home but maybe 2 or 3 nights a week. I admit I am pretty selfish with my kids and can't imagine them living with their dad if only on weekends. That sounds terrible I know. I certainly want them to have a wonderful relationship with their dad but just can't imagine what all this is going to be like. I would love any suggestions on what you think I can expect as far as child custody issues and child support issues and maybe even alimony. Is there something I should be doing now to prepare or am I just supposed to wait until after he moves out and see what his next step is? Thanks for any suggestions or advice.
