I left my three children with their father 6 months ago because I wasn't able to care for them but now I can and I want my children back?

You haven't mentioned who has legal custody. You can go and just get them if he doesn't have legal custody. You should give him and the children some time to prepare for the move so as to cause the least disruption for them. If he has legal custody you need to petition the court to modify the custody order now that you are able to provide for the children yourself.


How does a father get custody of his children if he was never married to the mother an the kids are twins and 1 month old?

The father would need to petition the court in the jurisdiction where custody was determined for a modification in the custody order, then be prepared to present a compelling case why it would be in the best interests of the children for him to assume custody. It would be in your best interests to have expert legal representation when challenging a custody order.
