You need protection of your persons (domestic violence protection order) not protection of your rights.

You could seek a divorce especially since this sounds like something other than a marriage made in heaven. As part of the divorce you can obtain restraining orders, and very likely see that his time with the children is supervised. You could see a domestic abuse injunction which will keep him away from the home if it is granted, but living expenses fr each of you will probably increase substantially. You could locate a skilled marriage counselor and try to persuade him to come with you to sessions. You could complain to law enforcement about specific acts of abuse. Find an experienced matrimonial lawyer in your area, who can review the facts with you in much greater detail, and can advise you.
