What does islam tell about a cruel father who does not provide his children their basic needs though he has a huge amount of bank balance.

If you are in the US.. see a divorce lawyer. You may have more rights as an independent woman but make sure you do it safely. Husbands like to do the leaving.. they don't like to be the ones to be rejected. If you are children are treated poorly.. it all dependds on what your legal rights are. In certain countries women have few rights. In canada it is the best.. free heatlh care and lots of rights for women.
