Based on what you have stated, a court would not award him custody. However, he may get visitation. First, you should wait until he files something so that you can respond. It is best not to communicate with him or have a discussion about it. At this point he has no rights--he may have some if he files etc.
You do have choices if you feel he may get some visitation--you could ask for supervised visitation and make this very restricted. Be advised, the court is looking at what is in the best interest of the children and if the court determines that it is not in their best interest, then visitation may not be awarded.
