as per DV laws, u are entitled to stay in the shared household. you can get the residence orders but for the you need to disclose the residence address of your inlaws so that the court passes the residence orders at that address. as far as your husband who shun away his responsibilities, other legal remedies are available.

give him last known address and consult a good local lawyer

if you make her a party you need her address but under DV act you cannot file case against a lady
Re: how do i file a DVA case?
You do not need to search for their addresses. The complaint may be made on the basis of "last known address". The authorities may make a 'publication' in a local daily and proceed accordingly.
