Part of me wants to stand up and tell him where he can shove his staying out all night and the other part of me is scared that he will run away and never return if I do that.
Sara, I felt this too. It takes time, it really does. If things continue the way they are...you will probably get to the point that you don't CARE if he runs away...that is when you will truly be able to detach. It takes time. You aren't doing anything wrong.

I know the way things stand right now, he is able to go out all night and then come back home and say some magic words to me and we will go out to eat and have a nice time.
Been there done that. You aren't alone in how you feel and your feelings are perfectly normal. You will eventually get fed up with this arrangement.
When I went to see the lawyer, I DID cry. Honey it is ok. She shouldn't push you one way or another, if she does then you should do as Michelle said and walk out and never see her again.
(((((Sara)))))....I wish I could give you a REAL hug
