Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am a working mom, my husband stays at home with my 1 year old daughter. I also have a 7 year old boy. I want to get a divorce, but he threatens to kidnap my children and take them to mexico. He is an abusive person and I am afraid he will do me or my children harm if I file for divorce, is there a chance he can take away my kids since he is not working. I am a teacher so i have a flexible schedule, and enough time to spend with my kids. what can I do?

Take the children, move out of the house, and file for divorce. Ask for temporary orders that will prevent him from kidnapping the children.

Timing is important. Try to leave when he's not there. Ask some of your large, ugly relatives to be there when you're moving out (in case he shows up).
