I (f29) am looking into leaving my (29m) husband. He’s emotionally and mentally abusive and is progressing to slight physical abuse as well.
I unfortunately have no one in our state to “escape” to. All my family is in the south almost 15 hours away.
How illegal would it be if I pack my kiddos up and left with them to another state? Kiddos are 6 and under and I am the only person working.
Location: Indiana

It’s not illegal at all, but he can immediately file for an emergency order forcing you to return the kids to their home state if he chooses to. You need to consult with a local family law attorney before you do anything.

What’s he going to do, call the police? If you’re married the police can’t do anything. Take them and the moment you make it to your parents go to the courthouse and file restraining orders and emergency danger orders for the kids.
