^^^ This is part of the problem. As long as you keep minimizing what happened (I didn't threaten her to her face, I was emotional at the time, there's no documented history of abuse, the police report is mistaken, she exaggerates everything), you aren't taking responsibility for what happened, and you will not be a plausible candidate for 50/50. You should double down on anger management classes, counselling, and anything else you can find to show that that you're a changed man and can be trusted to co-parent.
By your own account, you're facing criminal charges related to statements about strangling your wife and children (although you say you didn't actually threaten to strangle the kids, just the wife), you have an existing order which says you can only see your kids at a supervised centre, you've had more police involvement resulting in you being removed from the marital home, and your criminal lawyer says that the best outcome you can hope for is a year's peace bond - not charges dropped. This is a long way from 50/50. You need to show you've cleaned up your act.
If I heard that my ex had told his co-workers he wanted to strangle me and/or my kids, you can bet I would want him charged. Not because I saw an "opportunity", but because that kind of thing is f---ng scary and dangerous.
