Legal Question in Family Law in India

Hello. I'm asking this question for my mother. My parents are married for 25 years. I'm 20 years old daughter and I have 18 years old younger brother. Since childhood, I have seen all the physical and mental abuse done by my father. He has been very cruel with my mother as well as me and my brother too. She has never filed a complaint against him. But I can't see this anymore. I am convincing her to go for a divorce but she is afraid that she won't get the custody for both of us. she is employed and the only earner of the family.my father is unemployed and never support us financially.Also, she has a fear that my father will try to harm me or her for taking this step. I don't understand what to do. Can my mother get the custody for both of us? And can we get police protection for some period so that he won't harm us?

You both are major and do not require guardianship. File a DV Act case and confide in the protection officer for physical safety of all.
