You can approach the family court to file a case against your husband for maintenance and domestic violence case against him and his family members for necessary course of action. If any ancestral properties are there you can even make your children to file a partition suit for share in the house hold. You can ask for protection in the domestic violence case.

It is too late to take action for maintenance. Maintenance petition you can file in family court without further delay because after filing it takes some time to award. So interim maintenance you can seek with the help of your advocate. Secondly you can approach his office for remedial measures but takes little effort form his office required. If he is really harassing then you can file 498A. If you do not have sufficient strength to fight then you can approach Women protection cell in your area.

since your son is major, and he is searching for a job. He cannot get any maintenance from your husband. Your girl child is persuing studies. She is unmarried. So you and your daughter can claim maintenance from your husband U/s. 125 Cr.P.C. Moreover you can also file DVC case against your husband and a case for harassment and torture by your husband U/s. 498-A IPC separately. You can also claim maintenance in DVC also, and also claim rents for your home where you are staying, if it is rented one, by furnishing the proof of rent so paid. Your husband is government employee, he can easily meet your requirements. You are having a good case. So please approach competent court of law.
