no, i would rather seek child support than to let my child stay to his or her father, and that would be my right as a mother to take care of my children. Children needs the rearing of a mother while they were young, and i cant work well if i cant be able to see my child everyday.

As for the last part of the above answer, it's not about you, it's about what's best for the children. Whether or not you can "work well" is not the responsibility of your children; it's yours, as the adult and the mother.
If you are not stable, or in a position to take proper care of your children, then you owe it to them to let their father do it until you can. You must feel their father can provide a stable home for them, otherwise I don't think you would have even considered letting them stay with him temporarily, would you?
There is no shame in needing time to get stable and get on your feet, it happens to many divorced parents. A divorce is hard on everyone, but it's hard on the children, too. And that's all the more reason they need to be in the most stable home and environment possible.
You need to look at the bigger picture here. Where do you see yourself and your children a year or two from now if you don't do all you can to get yourself in a more stable position? Probably not a very pleasant place for any of you, don't you think? Where do you see yourself and your children a year or two from now if you do all you can to get yourself in a more stable position? Probably in a much better place, don't you think? And with your children living with their father while you get your life together, you will be able to do that much sooner than if you don't. Again, you need to look at the bigger picture.
Just the act of even asking this question shows you love your children and want what's best for them, and I applaud you for that. I suggest you talk to your ex husband about temporary custody, just until you do get on your feet. If it would make you more comfortable, you can even have your attorney draw up papers stating that it is only temporary, just until you get on your feet and can give your children the care they deserve.
Your children have two parents, and they need both parents in their lives. By letting your ex care for the kids temporarily, that doesn't mean you won't get to spend time with them, it only means he will give them a stable home while you are getting your life together. It also means they will realize you love them enough to not be selfish, and to do what is best for them.

Does a father have the right to take full custody of a child if the mother is terminally ill and the step father is providing all the care?
That is up to a court to decide. The father cannot take that action on his own. He need to petition for full custody. However, if the child has been in a stable and loving home, and well cared for, the court is not likely to terminate the mother's custody at this terrible time unless it can be proven the child is endangered or being neglected.That is up to a court to decide.
