Ma'am you could either file for divorce or you could file an application for maintenance, which will compel him to pay you a regular monthly sum to look after your family.
Under the law he is under an obligation to provide for his family.

Dear,
Your available option is divorce on the grounds of cruelty and also monetary maintenance from your husband. Maintenance will be for both you and your childern. Better you get in touch with a lawyer to discuss in detail.
