Looking for a reasonable attorney in Edmond, OK. Any suggestions?

Situation:

• Never been married, lived together in Edmond, OK
  
• Share two children (2 yr and 4 yr)
• Mother has two additional older children of her own

• 2 yr old may not be biologically mine (I am on the birth cert)
  
• 4 yr old is mine (I am not on the birth cert)
  
• No other legal documents have been completed or filed

Mother smokes weed and I suspect other drugs based on her irratic behaviours (strong mood swings, anger, etc). While broke up, but still living together, I caught the mother having sex with two other people in the livingroom with children in the next room sleeping. Afterwards when I kicked the people out and she attacked me. No charges were pressed against her. She continues with verbal abuse to the children and myself.

Mother has moved out of the house with her 2 older children (who is left with grandparents and she tries to get me to take them).

I have my (our) two younger children. I provide 100% care for them, mother does not want them and visits the children irregularily. And yet, she states that I will not ever have full custody.

In the past 4 years my ex has moved 7 times (Her 4th time was out of state with a boyfriend in 2007). It was just announced today that she was moving again. This makes it her 4th time in the last two years within the school district.

A total of 8 times she has moved.

Other issues:

Since she moved out of state, my relationship with my 6 year old son is diminishing, with her encouragement (I can actually hear her in the background laughing and telling him to hang up). He is not the same loving boy that left two years ago.

She drops him off at her parents house for weeks at a time, who liveonly 20 minutes from me, to visit. I don't get so much as a call. This is tough reality when you don't get to see your kid for 3 or more months at a time.

She refused to provide child care receipts and medical information/receipts.

When he is visiting me (a very rare occasion), she calls 2 - 3 times a day - early and late proclaiming her rights every time. I really don't mind her calling to talk to him, it just seems excessive and really takes my quality time away. And if I ignore the calls, it's non-stop ringing.

Sometimes it will take my son 2 weeks to call me back when he is with her.

And, boy is she good at turning things around. Email is the only thing that has saved me and she will hardly do that anymore.

Is there anything I can do? Would I have a case for custody when it comes to her not providing a stable home for our child?
