NO CUSTODY AGREEMENT - 02/01/2010

QUESTION:
I want to better understand my rights as a parent regarding the care of my children. Their father and I have been separated for 6 years. We share custody - though we have no written agreement in place or a Court order. The children want to spend more time with me.

I work full time and would like to better understand what options my children and I have regarding custody.

I am also considering a move with my job near my family and want to understand the potential rights/consequences - obviously I would want to take the children with me.
