Sorry that your marriage is not working. Try your best to work it out as i can see you have 4 children's. They need both father/mother . You should visit family relationship advisor or Citizen advise bureau . Single mom looking after 4 children's is not an easy job
Yes you do have right to stay in the UK because
- Your marriage survived more then 3 years
- You have children
You are entitled to get some benefits; i'm not sure what benefit you should claim may be GURU can give some suggestion
is you Husband still working? Even if you divorce you can retained your right of residence and you may even qualify to apply for Permanent resident after 1 year
are you working ? even if he moves out he will still have access to child right?

You may be able to retain your right of residence.
In what way was your husband exercising treaty rights? Was he working or self employed and is he still doing that?
Are children in school?
It will be a sad if he left home, but you need not worry too much as I suspect you will be fine. Even if he decides to go for divorce.
