Query on Divorce

I am married with 2 kids, my husband left us a few months ago but has not given me Talaaq, he refuses to give me talaaq yet tells other people we are divorced and has ignored all attempts from me to make the marriage work including counselling.
He has not made aqeeqah for our 2nd child who is 3 months old already and does not want to pay for anything towards maintenance of both the children or to me. I cannot work currently as I have to look after my 3 month old daughter. Please advise what I can do in this situation.

  You should approach the Ulama body in your town.city and apply for annulment of your marriage. You do have valid grounds for an annulment.
