you husband needs to prove that he is capable of giving better care to the children and further needs to prove that you are not able to take a reasonable care of the children. for your husband, its a difficult task to prove. its better if you send the copy of his custody petition for better opinion.

1. Your husband may not get custody of the children UNLESS it can be established by bringing sufficient evidence on record that you are DISQUALIFIED to be their guardian. However, the court may grant him visitation rights to meet with the children on week-ends for an hour or two.

2. The court will take into consideration the wishes of the children also. However, you should try to keep the children free from your influence and allow them to take their own decision.
