Assuming you are Hindus,

If you are facing mental and physical cruelty by the hands of your in laws you can move out of the family along with you kids.

Thereafter, your husband would be required to file a case for the custody of the kids.

However, as per the recent Supreme Court judgment, the custody of the children remain with the mother till the children have attained age of 5 years.
