Has this ever been to the courts? if he won't let them come visit you, you may need to seek legal help, to file the necessary paperwork to establish a legal sole or joint custody of your kids.

And congrats on turning your life around. It isn't easy, and you deserve a pat on the back for going all you have been through to do that.

Hopefully you can get your kids back in your life as well.

You will need to contact an attorney who specializes in family law and tell them your situation. I have worked with many women out of prison to regain visitation and/or custody in North Carolina. You will need to petition the court for visitation or to modify custody, even if you have visitation, you're going to have to go to court to force the issue with your ex-husband. Once you show the judge that you have changed you will get some visitation and in most cases some shared custody. The court's first priority is to be what is in the "best interest" of the children. Every judge I have ever worked with or known thinks that children should be able to spend time with both parents if at all possible. Some attorneys will work for free which is called "pro-bono". I wouldn't hesitate to explain my situation and ask for some assistance or find one who will be wiling to set up some type of payment plan with you.
