Child custody and moving to another state

My husband and have separted after two children and eleven years of marriage. He was mentally and physically abusive to me and the kids. After three suicidal attemps and being admitted into the hospital he was diagnosed as being Bi-Polar. While I was working to support us, he was at home accumulating debts and hiding bills.(When he wasn't sleeping.)
I had to move out of our apartment with the kids and move in with my parents to catch up on all the bills he left behind. I told him that he did not have a home to come back to. We were going to be evicted before he was released from the hospital. He moved in with a friend, until his generosity ran out. My husband moved into his own apartment for a short time and then decided to move to Texas to live with his mother.(We live in Kansas.) He has asked me to bring the kids for him to visit countless times, but I told him that it his responsibility to come see the kids-because we did not move away from him.
Even though he is now on medication and he has said that he has is Bi-polar in control, I am still very worried about letting him visit with the kids. We are NOT legally separated or divorced. He could "kidnapp" the kids and I would have nothing to stop him. I am unsure if I am ready for a Divorce, but a separation would not be less expensive. (Not that the money is what is important.) But I feel if I do Divorce-my husband should have to share the expense of the divorce.
I also want him to have supporvised visitation with them, but I do not trust his mother to keep the kids safe. She has already proven to protect her son in the past during times when he was involved in "criminal activity".
I am considering moving to Oklahoma next year. Will I have to file again for custody in another state?
Is there a difference in divorce and seperation when it comes to child custody? :confused:
