Although your spouse may try and state same and even tell your kids that, if your intent is not to "wholly abandon" the children then I think a lawyer could spin it in your favor. But if the situation is so bad for you it may be not a good one for them either. So consider taking them with you or getting legal help to get him out. Good luck.
