You'll REALLY want joint custody.It gives you more legal authority to act in your kids' best interest,because she won't,and your kids will desparately need as much strength,legal and otherwise,as you can bring to bear on their behalf.
The approach you must take is one of obdurate,uncompromising intransigence.You can make nice later-after you win.
PS This'll really sound mean-spirited,but it works.Have your lawyer insist on paternity tests right up front.If there's a problem with any of the kids you need to know it.If it comes back clean,you're still ahead because the other party still looks bad.

It doesn't SOUND meanspirited, it IS mean-spirited. Insisting on a paternity test would be about the most hateful thing a father could do to his children absent any compelling reason to believe it's warranted. Your assumptions about this awful situation are completely baseless.
