I cheated since I was still married... 2 months ago I filled for divorce we agreed to an agreement but he failed to sign paper's we moved on and I filed for non jury trial. .. now hes telling me if I don't get back with him hes gonna accuse me of cheating and take my kids.... can they take my kids away?

California is a "no fault" divorce state. Not only is cheating irrelevant, most family law judges will read you the riot act for trying to bring it up. Anyone can ask for whatever custody schedule they want, but the more unfair what they ask for is, the more likely the other person will look reasonable and get what they want.
