Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

My husband is verbally abusive. Can I get a restraining order against him for this? We have 3 kids and he does it in front of them. I am a nervous wreck and want to divorce him but even if I serve him with papers, he is not immediately eliminated from our home. I don't want the kids to have to endure this any longer and I cannot emotionally endure this any longer.
