There is no crystal ball to predict outcomes. Since we lack detailed facts that matter, such as the ages of the children and other details, we can't answer you well.

You need a lawyer right away. Until a court is involved, he can take the children anytime.

If he committed adultery, you should file for divorce and seek custody and child support. The court looks to the best interest of the child to determine custody. Criminal history may play a factor in deciding custody.

You seek counsel from an attorney. This is especially true if he has an attorney. If you cannot afford one, check with your local bar association to determine if you qualify for a pro bono attorney.
