And one of the other girls have been with me for the past two years. And finaly the other one just moved with me about a month ago. These two girls, the dad has physical and legal custody of.(It's in our divorce decree)

You'll have to go to court and issue an order to change the child support and custody. Will their father fight you on custody?

No I don't think he would fight for custody being that I do have proof that he's been unfit for the past years. And he does have a drinking problem along with females going in and out of the home. By any chance do you know what kind of paper work I need to request for? And If I'll have to pay for an attorney? (I have no money to pay and attorney, can this be done without one?)
