Custody arrangements when ex uses drugs

Husband revealed a drug addiction a couple years ago. He cleaned up, I let him home. He has been using cocaine again. Denies this but I have found enough evidence. In our home.

He will not leave as he says he has nowhere else to go, so I have taken our kids and left. Last time he was on drugs, it got quite bad and I am so nervous now.

I haven't let him have the kids without me being there, won't allow overnights. I do bring them in nearly daily to see him, even if just 2 hours after work in the evenings.

I am waiting on legal advice. I just want to know has anyone any advice or experience in situations like this? He is very skilled at twisting things and blaming me for his actions. I don't want to give him any fuel for that carry on, but still want to do what's right for the kids.

Hi I hope you got some legal advice and you and the kids are settled .
I wouldn’t have been taking the kids in every night to a home you had to leave because of his drug problem .
Once you see steps to him Cleaning himself up then he sees the kids .
