You can claim maintenance by filing a petition u/s 125 Crazy. P. C. before a judicial magistrate first class or judge, family court in your jurisdiction wherein you can claim maintenance for you as well as your children
Address is not a problem you can give a proclamation in local news paper which will be sufficient for notice.
If your husband is maintaining another wife during subsistence of your marriage he can be prosecuted for adultery and if he has entered marriage with another lady than for bigamy for which you have to either lodge a report before police or a complaint before magistrate first class of your jurisdiction in such case he will punished with jail and fine.
