You are the legal guardian of your children according to Islamic law, and you have guardianship over their wealth and their share of their mother's inheritance, without the need for a court ruling. The father is the most deserving of guardianship over a minor, by agreement of the jurists. As for the legal aspect, specialists should be consulted regarding it.
