How can I find cheap house in Spain?

How to leave a violent partner in Spain? Please answer, desperate?

• My mother and father divorced 7 years ago, he moved back to his native country (Spain) and we remained in England. They have four children together (Me and my elder sister, both 18+) and my two little brothers, both under 16. My mother has full custody of us and in the divorce settlement it was agreed that neither of my parent's were entitled to each others money (it was divided between them, and that was that) However, my mother and father got back together a few months after the divorce. We moved to Spain to be with him a year later. Everything was fine until two years ago. My mother (who lives with him with my two younger siblings) spent a lot of money on the house (which is in his name, though they have been living together as a couple and splitting the costs of bills, food..etc like any married couple) she has spent way over 100 grand and basically, she now has no money. However, as she was on the understanding that herself and my father were together and splitting all the costs, she didn't take this into consideration, as his house was her house, as far as she was concerned they were like they used to be prior to the divorce. In the past two years, my father has completely changed his tone. He has became violent (both physically and verbally) threatening (to burn down the house, saying there is going to be a "house full of murdered people") and over all dangerous. My mother is terrified and desperately wants to leave him, but can't as she has no money, no family and does not wish to leave Spain - she loves it here, but has no knowledge on certain laws and how things function. I'd like to know if she's entitled to anything. She has two minor children (both his) and has been living with him as a couple for six years now - she's spent money on his house (on the understanding that she would be living with him), which he refuses to repay her. Myself and my elder sister try to support her, but we've put up with his violent behaviour our entire lives and simply can't deal with it anymore. We've both moved out and have our own lives, but we really want our mother and younger siblings to leave him too. What exactly can she do to get away from him without having to return to England? She's 52, a full time mother (running the kids to school and back) and suffers from Bipolar disorder, she can't really work, though she said she'd be willing to if it meant leaving him - if she could find a job. On a side note, she couldn't live with me or my elder sister. I live in a dorm at uni (struggle enough as it is with money) and my sister is a holiday rep, she goes with the company around europe on a monthly basis.
