I wish to inform you that you can have children based upon best interest of child as main consideration. You can have custody if you can show in court that now you can take care of child. You cam also seek child support in order to meet expenses relating to child. Alternatively you can also have child visitation so that you can keep your contact with children.

The child he did not father he cannot hold from you. Notify the police, as it is at least custodial interference.

As to your other children, you need to go to court to get an order for custody/visitation. Since you were married he has as much right to the children as you.

You could use a family law attorney from what you state here. In any contested custody case it is always wise. But in this instance you have given the children to him for three long years, they are incorporated in his home and community and you will have to present a solid case of unfitness in order to get the two you have together back.

Alienation is an issue and something that will have to be documented to the court. There are many factors the court considers before changing custody and/or residency of children.
