Can I Claim a Child from an Illicit Relationship?

The concept of engagement in Shar‘iah

I have been divorced for three years now. My divorce was caused by my husband having an extramarital affair, then making tawba and marrying the sister. He also failed to provide sustenance for the duration of our marriage, and has provided only $40 every three months for the care of his two children ever since. I used to take them for visits, but he moved, and hasn’t returned to visit them in five months. He also neglects to call them more than once every few months. Do I have a right to file for full, permanent custody so that he doesn’t show up and take them one day? The law in America doesn’t protect me to keep them unless there is a custody order in place, and I know he’s proven to have erratic, irresponsible behavior. Please let me know if this is within my haqq to protect my family.

Travel before Ruksati

I have been married for seven years. Three kids now. But we have always had problems and they get worse.  We don’t communicate at all-just the necessary  stuff.  My husband is manipulative and I used to succumb but now I have started resisting.  He wants me to fail in my endeavors. He insults me at the slightest opportunity-says I am not mar’atussaliha (a pious woman).  We disagree about many important things. He never agrees to learning or trying to change things or going for counseling.  He does not want to try.  Many times I feel like leaving him but my only concern is how my kids will fare.  Do I have the right to keep them even if I do female divorce-Khula? The oldest is six.
