Baby Daddy Drama

What should I do?

I need help. I know I’m in my head and over thinking everything but I just need advice from moms who have been in this situation or similar. My soon to be ex husband and I were together for 12 years. We share a 7 year old and a now 3 week old. He met someone else and decided he wanted a divorce while I was 20 weeks pregnant with our youngest and drained all of our money from our joint account leaving me with nothing. Ever since he’s left, he’s been verbally and emotionally abusive. We’ve been to court once for custody and he’s yet to follow any of the custody agreement nor has he paid any child support. I’m scared to file in contempt because I don’t know what that means for consequences. Our eldest is very attached to his father but hasn’t seen him in months due to his father bailing on his appointed days. What should I do. Ever since having our youngest, I’m very strained financially. But at the same time, I don’t know how my ex will react and retaliate. What should I do? And yes. My ex is known for retaliating.
