I have an almost three year old and a 15 month old and my partner has humiliated me, abused me physically and it's too much now.

I have put up with everything for the sake of the children but now he has given me an ultimatum that he wants me out of his life if I don't cook for his family when they all come and stay. I can't do this because he humiliates me and has broken me, it's too much.

Also he is fraudulently claiming benefits and housing where we live. I have kept telling him if he doesn't change I will report him but he has threatened to hurt me.

I will leave my babies at my mum's she lives a few hours away from me but where do I go from here? I am not on the property lease and all my stuff and children's stuff is at the flat?

Will they let me and my children stay there?
How do I apply for another house if he doesn't let me stay.

I am only working twice a week now until I apply for a better role.

Also he is not a British citizen yet, and misogynistic, hiding his finances from me and I think involved in fraudulent activity but he is hiding it all from me. Please any advice would be appreciated

Move to your Mum's. Contact her council and say you are homeless and sofa surfing, but get yourself and your babies out of there asap.

Just leave anything you can't take - it's not worth it. (Then report him if you want once you are gone)

Thank you, I would but I need my job and have an interview coming up for a better role. I really want my independence with two babies.

But you are only working twice a week? Can you not try and find a job once you are at your Mum's? If you have to stay in your current area can you try Women's Aid? I don't think leaving your babies hours away with your mother whilst you stay here is a solution, OP.

I think you are right, I need somewhere close to my family.
Also, can I report him for being abusive and making threats to hurt me and my children? What proof do I need?

Staying/working locally puts you at risk. Is the property your living in rented? If so who from? Just thinking if you are liable in any way. Leave with the kids and get away from this man. Once you’re safe then you can start to plan your future. You’ll find another job/home in time, staying where he could possibly find you easily isn’t an option.
