Likely child access after domestic abuse

My stbExh has mental health issues and I was victim of his emotional, verbal, coercive/controlling abuse for many years. I finally fled the family home with our 3 children (aged 3 months, 3 and 5) when it started to affect the children with advice and help from many agencies.
At the moment he has supervised contact only one day a weekend. He wants more and claims my arrangement is grossly unfair. But he has never cared for the children on his own.
What can I expect him to get if we divorce and he applies through courts for more access? One night a weekend? More??

Depends on what agencies are involved and what they say. Contact is done for the best interests of the children so unfortunately you have very little say if he asks the Court for more access.

Also people learn to care for their own children. It is not something you just know how to do. In the case of a lot of people until recently it was by observing those around them with children and copying them.
