Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Been separated for a year and a half. With several failed reconciliations. During our separation my husband has been both physically and emotionally to me on a costant basis. He has been usin our kids to hurt me by threatening me that if I "move on" that he would take them from me forever. He has already been in what seems to be another committed relationship the ENTIRE separation besides of him constantly running back and forth between me and the other woman. He does not spend as much time with his kids as he should and is constantly choosing to spend time with the other woman over them. If he does have them then he has his mom or sister take care of them so he can be alone with his girlfriend. His girlfriend has also been envolved with hurting me emotionally through this as well. Suprising since she used to be my best friend. I want to leave my town and move out of state with my kids to his brother and his wife. They want to help me escape him. We have no custody agreement or a divorce filed since he reufse to do so. The manipulation and abuse enflicted upon me and our kids needs to end but he won't let me do anything. I don't want to lose my kids. It is so bad with Him. He had tried to intentionally get me pregnant again, saying it would make it harder for me to fight him back. His other family is no better. As he comes from a long line of abuse and neglect. My husband has a violent criminal background and from just recently was arrested for burglary of a habitation to commit another felony causing bodily injury but wasn't ever charged. I don't want my kids around any of that. I know legally I can leave out of state and he wouldn't be able to file kidnapping charges. But I know there are chances dipping out will look bad on my behalf in court if he files for a divorce here in Texas before I am able to somewhere else, a judge can also order for me and the kids to return. I reside in Texas.

You need to leave him immediately. Move out. It's best if you stay in the State of Texas.

File for divorce immediately, in the county where you now live.

You are not going to "lose the kids." Don't be afraid of his threats. He's a liar and a fraud.
