You two remedies you should immediately consider. The first and most important is a motion for custody and child support. The longer the child remains there, the more difficult it will be for you to obtain custody.
Secondly, you should consider obtaining a temporary restraining order. You're posting indicated that he was abusive. Again, the longer you wait to seek this remedy, the more difficult it will be to obtain it.
