My opinion is that you can file a case of domestic violence against him and demand for maintenance and shelter as well as for child education. in the said case you will get a immediate relief... or you can go for divorce plus maintenance U/s 13(I)(a) & 24, 27 under Hindu Marriage Act...

considering your condition at the moment, i will not advise you to initiate legal proceedings against you husband.
in my opinion you should first approach an NGO for family counselling to save your marriage.
if no settlement has been arisen you can have various remedies in the court of law like Divorce, maintenance etc.

Best option for you is to file petition under domestic volience act int he court presently you are residing and further you can claim residence orders, maintenance order for you and kids, educaton expenses as well as protection order . Or else if you can file divorce petition on ground of cruelty if you wish to seek divorce and maintenance order for you and kids, educaton expenses .
