I would suggest that you call Children's Services for the county involved and indicate to the caseworker that you would like to seek custody of the children. I think that is the best, and most reasonably priced, place to start. You will probably receive a lot of assistance in moving your request through the juvenile court that have jurisdiction over the children.
