to want my children back full time?

My husband walKed out back in Feb 2013 and since then he has been having the DC half the time. I believe this is so that he gets out of paying mainteance (although CSA say he should still be paying) He is staying with his mother, just around the corner. The children have their own room - but only when it is not needed for other relatives... then it is a spare room and the children stay here. I am aware that my ex has work on a tuesday night when he has the children, only possible because his mum is in the house to look after them, I believe that they should be with me if he is unable to have them (giving me first refusal at least). More recently I have asked aout sharing the cost of childcare, this was thrown back in my face... it's on your days therefore your responsibility... understandable if he was paying maintenance.
I want to have the children home, has anyone else had this issue? How easy was it to get them back? I honestly believe they are better off with me, (he has mental health issues) as they don't seem to want to go.
Any help appreciated x

You lost my sympathy when you quoted mh issues as the reason not to have access to his children

Agreeing with LEM and other posters. Mental (and any other for that matter) health problems does not necessarily equate to bad parenting.
