Custody of a daughter

Q: My wife has asked for khula. My child is 10 months old but not breast feeding. My wife ran away from home 3 months back in the morning at 4am without my knowledge. On finding out she was at her parents house and I involved our community to sort this dispute out. She had the condition I get a separate house which I did but she still refused to come. She has been proved before the community that she has been lying and also on one occasion she stole my documents which were confidential, she took this documents away from me without my knowledge. My main concern is the welfare of my baby and further more with all this kind of attitude of lying and stealing my daughter may develop this kind of attitude. I want advice on the custody of my daughter, can I get my daughters custody under such a circumstance having have proved that she has been lying to an extend stated in the letter of khula is that she wants a separate house and that I have refused which is also a lie and the community members are a witness of the same. She also ended up stealing from me. Please help me and advise.

Custody of children

Q: I have a few questions. My one son is 7 and the other is 2 and the mother has taken them away from me and moved far away where I cannot get to see my kids. The mother has moved away with both kids and is currently staying at her parents they are staying 400km from me and I find it hard to travel all the time its a costly factor as well and I do work and also the last I have seen my kids was 4 month ago. She took the kids and moved away without my permission. Majority of the day she's out of the house at work like 9 to 10 hours a day which her mum feeds, dress and take the kids to school. She is also working with non mahrams and likes to socialise with them. She also banned me from going down and seeing my kids and from phoning them. I'm not sure I can't judge but maybe she can be also involved with someone. She's telling people that she can't give me custody of my 7 year old son because there is no one to take care of him as my mother is old 75 years of age but I know my mother will take care of him because she is looking after other 7 grandchildren she feeds them take care of them some are also married today and there's also my elder nieces that are at home so when I'm at work there's always elders at home. So mufti saab how do I go about all this? If I remarry what will be my custody? The mother sits on her phone the whole time whatsapp, bbm, twitter, wechat and has very bad influencing people, friends which are divorced as well. They are far away from me 400 km distance.

Saying "Me tumhain talaq deta hu"

Q: While we were fighting on some issue I said to my wife that Me tumhain talaq deta hu 2 times. One time clearly and the 2nd time she kept her hand on my mouth so words were not delivered clearly. That time I was in anger. After that I felt that I have done a big mistake. We love each other and never thought to leave each other. Please guide us what is the state of our relation?
