The felony was not against children. Was a drug charge. My oldest child is 14 and youngest is 8 they both like my fiancé. Ex is threatening to take me to court to keep them away from my fiancé. What steps should I take?

You need to immediately find and consult a divorce lawyer who can help you. As for what to say, start from the beginning, tell him everything, and don’t leave anything out.
HE GAVE FALSE INFORMATION AT DIVORCE. HE FILED AND RECIEVED A CREDIET CARD IN MY NAME UNKNOWN TO ME
One of the children is under joint custody, and the report for one of the incidents has been substantiated by CPS (he admitted to hitting the other child - who is fully in our custody, not related to her ex - with a dog leash).

They are confidential records but are certainly the court should know about them (especially if the CPS case was before the same court). Idk why the lawyer would not submit them or make the court aware of them unless it is possibly a matter of strategy and timing. You should ask.
That is to say, a contract that spells out how everything would be divided in the case of a divorce, not filed immediately, but would be upheld by the courts in the case of either party petition for divorce in the future
We have been separated for 6 months. We share no property or finances but do share a minor child (16 years old)

You have to file a petition for dissolution of marriage and have it served on him by certified mail restricted delivery, sheriff or special bailiff. Once that is done, you will have full access to the court.
How can I get some of his paycheck garnished to me for bills that are also in his name? Can I recoup any money I've spent on mutual bills?

We were married in 1995 and he was deported in 1997. I did live in Chile off and on for 8 years but came home in 2007 with our 3 children and NEVER looked back. Two are over 18 and one is almost 15.

If you have not been approved by the state as a foster parent, you will likely need to file a petition to adopt and a termination of parental rights as to the child in your custody. The birth parents may be willing to consent to avoid another involuntary termination. You should contact a Kentucky... View More

You don’t be able to be divorced until after the baby is born bc your husband is presumed to be the father since you’re married. Once the child is born, dna testing can be performed and paternity established, thereby releasing your husband from liability.
