Your sister and kids should go to a shelter immediately. Then, call a competent divorice attorney. If you are impoverished call the local bar association and ask for an 18b attorney.

Re: Help!!!!!!!!!
You likely qualify for a divorce under the grounds of "cruel & inhuman treatment." This is not always easy to prove, but from you have described, you may have a good case. You need to seek a lawyer immediately to protect your rights and your safety. The lawyer may also be able to get an order of protection while your case is pending.
