Yes: retain an attorney. This is way beyond what anyone can help you with in a question and answer format on a web site.

To be fully prepared for a court hearing would require reviewing the entire juvenile court file and the family court file. The fact that the juvenile court judge did not remove the children from father will make it very difficult to convince the family court to change custody. You will not get sufficient information from the internet to be of help to you.
As a general rule family court looks to the best interests of the child. The court gives considerable weight to how the child is doing at the present time. If the child is doing okay the court is reluctant to make a change.
