Domestic Violence - Not Getting Any Help

I am a 40F South Asian who got married to a 45M British South Asian about 10 years ago. He's a relative and I was pushed into marrying him which I accept was not quite the right thing to do looking back.

I moved to the UK after the marriage and we registered our marriage in England as well so I could start the process for British citizenship. I now hold a British passport for a few years. I'm not entirely sure how to put it in writing but I just became a victim of domestic violence.

My husband called me in the evening around 2100-2200 hours and asked me for dinner to which I replied that I had prepared a Biryani and it was all heated and potted up for him for when he's come (He runs a convenience store in London).

Instead of saying okay or ordering on Deliveroo/Just Eat, he rushed home and started slapped me on my face, pushed me around and pulled my hair in front of my two children (8YO and 6YO). When my child tried to intervene, he pushed him away violently and he fell too. My 8YO is diagnosed with visual disability and autism by the NHS.

While he was hitting me, I was absolutely numb but once he pushed my child, I could not hold myself and called the police. The police asked me if I wanted him arrested or kicked out of the flat. At the time, I was still trying to process WTF happened to me and the children and I just wanted him out of my sight. The police took statements.

I explained to them how he controlled all finances, my going and coming but has never participated in our lives beyond depositing 500-800 GBP every 2-3 months in my bank account. They consider it something called coercive control behaviour.

We were in the process of getting evicted from our flat while this has happened. His name is on the tenancy contract and I am nowhere in any paperwork. I'm at a loss as to what I can do to secure myself some additional time in the flat so I can prepare myself for what happens next.

I called Hestia and they asked me to apply for emergency housing and they would push the council on my behalf as well. In parallel, I was told to contact a solicitors who would advise me and help me issue a "Non Molestation Order" which would help keep him away from me.

My problem is that the solicitor assigned just has ignored me for nearly a week even though I have been calling her daily. Additionally, a Social Services worker was due to visit me last week but has continued to defer their visit to the flat. Again, I have been chasing them without any luck.

I also called Hestia and they asked me to make an application for housing a the council and they would help expedite it. I am absolutely overwhelmed as to what I should do and I am getting nowhere with anyone. I'm literally at my wits end and keep trembling plus having nightmares of him attacking us. He looked like a wild animal when he was hitting me.

I am now worried about what happens. He has already been getting his family and friends to call / text me saying he wants an out of court settlement as he sees this relationship as over. He has also expressed through his siblings that he will take me to court and push for custody of the children and he will take my boys away from me. He has done this multiple times every time we had an argument or other difficult times.

What can I do?! Is there someone who can genuinely help me? Can I stay away from this flat and still get things done? I've been getting texts to clear out which I do want to as I feel unsafe here. I snuck out to get some bread and milk for us and saw his car outside two days ago and had to run to the flat. I have around 200 GBP to my name, that's about it and I have been financially dependent on him completely.

I don't know the laws, I don't know the British system, all I know is he has threatened to take away my boys and has even expressed that he will take them away to Pakistan in the past. He has also divorced me twice (In Islam you have to divorce someone three times before it becomes valid). I understand that is not going to be recognised by the courts in England but still he has done that because he was having an affair, although he has told me I do not have any evidence.

Sorry I might be rambling here but honestly I'm traumatised, scared and alone here. My nearest family is about 7 hours on a plane... What in the world can I do?! Can you please help me?!

1. I was beaten, my child was pushed and he fell
2. He's on the tenancy, I am not and there's an active eviction
3. He's threatened me with taking the kids away if I try to get him arrested or anything of that sort
4. He has a shop but he keeps saying he wants an out of court settlement to our relationship and that would mean he won't come at me for the kids, this is intimidation!
5. His siblings are calling everyone I know to get me to open the door for him and let him come home to pick up a few things.
6. I don' have a home or income right now
7. Solicitor and Social Worker are not responding to me
8. I'm panicking and scared, I'm worried he can take the kids

Sorry again, not sure what to do... I want to hide with the boys, would I be in danger or being accused if I did that? Or do I have a reason to do that since he beat me up.
