Debi,
I understand your concerns about your husband finding you. I wonder if there is a women's shelter nearby that you could use as an official address in order to avoid him knowing your address. Also, I think there might be people there or available through them that would help you file.
Also, I would doubt that your husband would contest the divorce. It is usually very expensive to contest a divorce filed in another state and he would probably not want information to come out about how he abused you and threw you out of your own house. And in a contest, that information would be sure to be exposed.
Perhaps you are not emotionally strong enough to go through all that at this point and maybe now is not the time.
Having been through something similar, I understand that and your need for safety.
My prayers are with you.
