The best way is to obtain an attorney of your own and get temporary orders.

Too little is divulged here to be of much help. Perhaps you two can face the landlord as a team. Divorce Court has no jurisdiction over landlords of divorcing parties.

You need to get a lawyer too. If your name is on the lease, the landlord can't evict you without just cause-i.e. a protective order.

You need to retain an experienced family lawyer who can protect from this controlling husband. He is telling you things which are not necessarily so, but if you believe him, you may go along with his mis-understanding of things, and harm your own interests, and those of your children. Find a lawyer. Good Luck.

You should at least purges an hour of attorneys time, explain all of the details and factual situations, and understand what your rights and potential obligations are going to be. Whether or not the landlord is going to evict you will most probably be determined by whether or not the rent is paid. The car is in both names the court will have to make decision which one of the parties is going to retain it.

If you are on the lease and paying the rent there is no basis for eviction unless there is inappropriate conduct. The car belongs likely to both of you. Get a lawyer, file for a divorce and make a motion for temporary orders to determine who gets to use what and to provide for the children.

The landlord cannot evict you as long as you pay your rent in accordance with the lease. The landlord cannot legally change the locks until you are legally evicted. Get a lawyer for yourself and forge ahead.
