Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Me and my husband are seperated. He is Muslim I am Christian. We have a 5 month od and 4 year old boys. I am living with my mom who is Christain too. He does not want us over here because he says it will go against him trying to raise them Muslim. He is very verbally abusive and controlling about everything. He tried to push me out of a chair when I was 40 weeks pregnant. While I am here with my mom I told him he could see them anytime he wanted to. My mom on the other hand says that I cant let him see them because he is an abuser. I know he would not harm our boys. The problems are between us. I told her he has rights as a father unless a judge says otherwise. I will not deny him his rights as a father. She said if I let him see them she would put us out and I would basically end up in a shelter. We also only have one car and I have the car right now. Our home is in the suburbs of Chicago where public transportation is limited. I am in Chicago where I have public transportation if needed also my moms car.

Should I let him use the car even though I have the boys?

Does my husband have the rigth to say they cant be here with me at my moms house?

Will the law hold this against me?

Can I tell him that any problemns between us we can save for court because he is always trying to talk about it. But there is nothing more to talk about. Will that be held against me in court? We have tried a few counsleing sessions but it didnt work.

Thank You
