Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Right of the mother without her kids

After being married for 7 years.. i finally got to the point where i could not take it any more, so when I found what i thought was a way out of the situation..turns out i was wrong..I up and left..was unsure of where I was going to be staying at the time I left, so I left the kids with him--a more stable situation..First..was that wrong to do?Second.. what rights as their mother do i have when we do get divorced?I mean what right(s) do i have to get the kids other than what the paper we signed..that I did not see being signed by a witness..paper stating that he could have custody of the kids and I can call them whenever i want to, and see them whenever i get the chance to get up here. And i get to have the kids everyother weekend, and can take them to my family's holiday get togethers.I am living with my parents and have recently started a job so that i can save up some money and try to make a fresh start.?Another thing, should we -legally speaking- file for a legal seperation first before we file for divorce? We are planning on fileing for an uncontested divorce..so what legal steps should we take to file that type of divorce?
