It is better for you to appear in the pending divorce case and plead and prove that you are living under one roof and further you can take recourse of Domestic Violance Act and in case you want custody of the children then you have to take recourse of court of law by filing petition for their custody.

Instead of "teaching her a lession", it may be better if you "learn a lession"; and that is : she is the BOSS in your life. You need to shower unbounded love and affection on her and the family and create harmony, peace and happiness. Try to find your own faults by introspection and consider ways and means to improve atmosphere in your home. You may seek help and guidance from your children. Think as if you are a newly married adult and your children as your close friends. Legal recourse may not be very helpful in your situation.
