Am I right is assuming there is no current court order? Are the children's legal Father having signed all required documents?

And is Mom the current primary caregiver (I don't mean financially - I mean on a day to day basis, she's the one taking care of the kids for the most part)?

So long as your own employment does not interfere with your wish to be with the kids when mom would otherwise have them in child care, there should not be much of a problem.
The non-custodial parent typically has first right of refusal.
It is up to you to make your wishes known. Don't agree to any custody order that doesn't maximize your time with your kids.

I've never known ROFR to be typically included anywhere - is this something common in KY?

(Did I just learn something? )
