See the film "Kramer vs Kramer." Although the account is fictionalized things haven't changed that much since the movie was made. Your strong suit is that you have been the custodial parent for 2 and 1/2 years and done a good job of it. What possible reason might exist for a change?

With the facts you stated nearly none. However, you would be a fool not to seek a contempt action for failure to pay child support.

It looks as though you have a very good chance at maintaining full custody. The court will look at what is in the best interest of the children in determining any custody arrangement for the future.
You should definitely look into establishing child support for your children.
