Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

My husband is verbally and physically abusive, even when I was pregnant he uses to get angry and slap, hit or bite me with violence, sometimes until bleeding, and if I run to call the cops he'll break my phone,swears that he'll "slaughter me", and stay in the house even for days so I cannot go out or call for help until I give up. So basically, I was never able to report his assaults. Now I fear for my daughter of his sudden anger waves, and he's very unpredictable. He threatens to take her away from me if I ask for a divorce and says that I have nothing to prove that he's been physically abusing me ... Any advice please?
