Divorce courts dont care what your occupation is. Most will award custody to the mother unless she can be proven as an unfit mother with child or drug charges. Besides being resident parental custodian, she will also get child support, the house, and possible spousal support. The husband will get state mandated visitation rights. The courts dont care how one makes the child support payments just as long as they are made. Payments are usually garnished from his paycheck automatically and are monitored thru the local child support payment collection agencies.

Chances are you will get custody of the kids even if you are in the military. However, it could be written in the divorce decree that you cannot take them out of the continential US. So if you end up getting sent on your long overseas tour, he might get the kids.
He cannot hold you in the state you reside in because of the soldier/sailor act, so if you do get custody, you will still be allowed to go to any base in the continential US without any fight.
