Red-
I think working with your attorney is a good idea. I also think it's a great idea to know that your attorney is working for YOU, so you can certainly ask about different possibilities that may work better for you and your family than any cookie-cutter case your attorney may have had before.
You may, for instance, request for family advocates and a home study if there is any resistance to your motion to retain the children in your home as primary residence.
These small steps go on record and keep your case in the system in the worst-case scenario that you have to have permanent custody in the future, which is entirely possible, in any state.
Keeping your journal and documentation , like was advised before is crucial to your situation.
Remember hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Call in your HP for all of it.
You are doing just fine. You really are. I wish you knew how well you're doing.
Peace,

Be strong. Be courageous. Those children need you.
