Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

child custody

My x-wife is taking me back to court for our son and daughter (12 and 14). It's been almost two years since our devorce. She did not show up for the devorce. We have joint custody with me being primary. I let her have the childeren more then what the devorce papers say to. I have not moved but have started my own company. Things are slow right now but are picking up. I do have med ins on both childeren. This business does requier me to be out of town 2 days or so a week. We live with my parents and my grandmother and aunt and uncle live next door. There is always someone here. She works during the day the childeren are alone, most of the time. Sometimes they stay with a friend but she has a criminal record for theft and was at least 10 years ago. I will be remarried in 3 months and the childeren have been part of that the whole way. She doesnt have childeren. My x pays no child suport. The childeren have said they want to live with there mom but did not know that they have to change schools. They are with her half the time already. She has been influencing the childeren by saying how I tricked her in the devorce. I have explanned to them what happened. And they have a new thought on things. Will I lose them or pay child suport?
