I wouldn't turn up your nose at the 401K. But I would think all of that could be used as a bargaining chip for the health insurance. And I totally agree that you should take half of the money from the checking account. Would that be enough to pay the retainer?
That being said, I totally understand about controlling husbands. Right now, my husband and I still live in the same house. We are only truly separated on the weekends. And on the weekends, I am a completely different person. However, I also hear his criticisms in my head at all times.
Objectively, I say go for the divorce. Personally, I feel much the same as you do. I think it will take time for both you and me to heal. Stand up for yourself! And give yourself credit for all that you've accomplished so far! You moved out on your own. You went back to school!!! That's awesome!!! And you have spoken to an attorney.
Hang in there, sweetie! We all know what a difficult process this is.
