Probably a good chance that you would get sole custody of the children. You need to consult with an attorney in order to best determine your potential rights and options.

Excellent. Custody is based on "the best interests of the child and fitness of the parents.

Well, you certainly have the beginnings of a case. You will need to be able to prove this in court. So you would be well advised to retain an experienced family law attorney to help make this happen. Good luck.

In Washington, there is no custody as such, there is residential time and decision making authority. If you file for a divorce or legal separation, you can make a motion for temporary orders and get a temporary parenting plan in place, ask the court to order him to have an alcohol evaluation/treatment etc. But none of this can happen unless you file.
