Leaving my home

Me and my children are in an abusive situation, my husband is an alcoholic. He is starting to become emotionally and verbally abusive to the children. I have found a place to rent. If I leave my home we own together will I be able to get money from the sale still or will I forfeit my rights if I leave? And will I till be able to apply for child support? I am trying to leave the home without him knowing. He has threaten us in the past and destroyed my things. I don't want to stay here any longer but I don't want to lose money I know I will need for my kids.
